@cambridgebiosci.bsky.socialFor #PainAwarenessMonth, we’re highlighting some of the researchers across our School who are advancing our understanding of pain.
Dr David Bulmer studies pain in gastrointestinal diseases and how the gut-brain connection could help improve treatments.
@cambridgebiosci.bsky.socialOur final new Theme Lead is Heather Machado, who has joined the Molecules and Cells Theme. Heather studies our immune system to address key questions in cancer immunology and immune ageing.
