Title of Thesis:

Persistent pain after surgery: molecular mechanisms

Outline of the Thesis:

Background:
We focus on the search for new pain molecules that may influence postoperative pain. This may be a new therapeutic target for future pain management. We also perform clinical epidemiology studies to evaluate the severity, risk factors and impact of postoperative pain.

Publications arising from his research work:

    1. to determine the candidate SNPs that are related to the development of chronic postsurgical pain using Genome-Wide Scan.
    2. to characterize the molecular function of candidate SNP and the nociceptive function of their genes in the animal pain models.
