Author Information

John Wood completed a PhD at Warwick University and trained as a virologist with Luc Montagnier in Paris. After 12 years in industry, he began his career in pain research at University College London. He focused on genetic approaches to pain mechanisms, identifying transcripts uniquely expressed by sensory neurons, including sodium channels involved in the transmission of nociceptive information that eventually cause a sensation of pain. In 2009 he won the Grand Prix Scientifique of the French Academy and became a Fellow of the Royal Society. He founded a start-up biotech company Ionix Pharmaceuticals to develop new analgesic drugs. More recently he has exploited mouse and human genetics to identify and validate new genes involved in pain pathways. He continues to explore the mechanisms involved in pain pathways and the development of new therapeutic strategies to treat chronic pain.
