Diabetic painful neuropathy (DPN) is the most common form of neuropathic pain which is accompanied by shooting pain and sensory deficits. In our new preprint, we found a unique pathology in human dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) from organ donors with DPN. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Working on this paper has been one of the highlights of my career. I am so extremely thankful to the scientists, transplant surgeons, & staff who made this work possible, & to the organ donors & their families for the gift of life. @UTDPainCenter @UTDPainLab @SWTransplant

We are pleased to announce that we have received Phase 2 funding on our U44 @NINDSfunding to develop MNK inhibitors for neuropathic pain. We will now begin IND-enabling studies. We are excited to continue our journey to improve the treatment of neuropathic pain!
