Pain is a universal experience shared by all human beings and many living creatures. Chronic pain is a common medical disorder, challenging to diagnose and treat. Our lab focuses on the role of the gut microbiome in the development of chronic pain. We aim to better understand how gut bacteria interact with the human immune- and nervous systems, to play a role in the development of pain. Using state-of-the-art genomic, metabolomic, psychophysics and bioinformatic methods, our team has demonstrated a key role for certain gut bacteria in the development of fibromyalgia. We aim to explore gut microbiome-based diagnostic and therapeutic solutions for fibromyalgia and other chronic pain conditions.
