Скачать или смотреть Neuroplasticity and Systems Biology Lab - Dr. Benjamin Harrison's Research at UNE

Biomedical Sciences professor, Benjamin Harrison, Ph.D., studies neuroplasticity using an interdisciplinary systems biology approach. The Harrison Lab focuses on understanding neuron-intrinsic signaling mechanisms during anatomical re-structuring of peripheral afferent neurons. Take a look into the techniques used by a team of faculty, staff, and students researching neuroplasticity at the University of New England.

The primary focus of the Harrison Laboratory is to further understand the mechanisms that regulate dystrophic changes in sensory axons during chronic pain. If mechanisms regulating neuron growth can be better understood, it could lead to the advancement of therapies to moderate these neurons to control pain.

UNE students have the opportunity to participate in research across a wide range of fascinating areas throughout nine centers and institutes, including the Center of Biomedical Research Excellence for the Study of Pain and Sensory Function (COBRE). The center’s mission is to significantly contribute to the scientific understanding of the neurobiology of chronic pain, facilitating the discovery and development of novel therapies.
