Nanna Brix Finnerup
Translational Neuroscience: Unlocking Precision Medicine in Pain
Professor
Aarhus University
Has received a Lundbeck Foundation LF Professorships research grant worth DKK 36,175,638.
Nanna Brix Finnerup, professor, Danish Pain Research Centre, Department of Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University.
Professor Finnerup seeks to understand the molecular mechanisms associated with pain caused by nerve injury (neuropathic pain). Nerve injury can be caused, for instance, by a stroke or in connection with spinal cord injuries, and the pain can be extremely difficult to treat with medication. During her research project, Professor Finnerup will study genetic factors that may increase the risk of developing neuropathic pain caused by nerve injury, the aim being, in time, to contribute to design of precision medicine.
