The main current projects are focussing on:

Tetrahydrobiopterin as intrinsic regulator of pain hypersensitivity and persistence
Function of micoglial cells and neuroimmune interactions in neuropathic pain
Role of Inhibitor kappa B kinase beta in primary afferent and dorsal horn neurons (IKKbeta, gamma and alpha) for the development of neuropathic pain
Synaptic vesicle proteins as regulators of pain-evoked glutamate release and glutamate mediated excitotoxicity
Regulation of neuronal and glial cell responses, neuronal cell death and nerve regeneration after axonal injury by granulins
