Funded Activity Summary

Chronic pain is a significant global health, economic and social problem, with the annual economic burden estimated at approximately $40 billion in Australia. My research will focus on the discovery and structure-function of venom peptides (trivially called toxins) from cone snails and spiders plus other Australian venomous creatures that modulate sodium and calcium channels in peripheral pain and associated pathways and optimise these for clinical development.
