On behalf of myself and Frank, thanks to all those who joined us for #painmechanisms2024 🇮🇹 What a week of incredible pain science! We strengthened existing bonds and leave with new friendships and collaborations. We’ll see you back in beautiful Verona for #painmechanisms2026 🤓

📢 UTCSP is happy to share an upcoming talk by @SikandarLab Dr. Shifaq Sikandar. Join us on June 25th!
Yesterday Skip presented some our new data examining an immunological basis of chronic widespread pain in Fibromyalgia. It was a great session on neuro-immune interactions at @PainMechanisms conference, here in Verona! Lovely work, Skip 👏🏻🥰
We’re here in Verona for the 2024 Pain Mechanisms and Therapeutics Conference 🇮🇹 we’re looking forward to an exciting week ahead!
We are so proud of the first PhD student of the sensory neurophysiology group 🥰 You will always be part of the group but we will miss your daily presence in the lab. We know you will be successful in any future endeavour 🤍 Congratulations on your well deserved PhD 🎉
Finding it hard to accept that my time at @SikandarLab has come to an end, and I am now PhDone🥹 had the most phenomenal four years in Sensory Neuro & wouldn’t have changed a thing 🩵

Sensory Neurophysiology (albeit missing a few members!) are leaving Cambridge! We had a great time at The Challenges of Chronic Pain conference- we learnt a lot and are look forward to returning for the next one! #ChronicPain23
Following yesterday’s poster presentations, our very own PhD student @RomyEvans presented her data on neutrophil derived EVs in the context of chronic pain at The Challenge of Chronic Pain conference, here at the Wellcome Genome Campus. Congratulations on a great talk 🥳
The Sensory Neurophysiology group are here at the Wellcome Genome campus for The Challenge of Chronic Pain conference.
So far, we’ve had great poster presentations from @SCaxaria and Alice! #ChronicPain23

It’s official - hard work pays off! Our most recent work focusing on the neuroimmune mechanisms of fibromyalgia 👏 and of course brownie points for having the most supportive team 💜
It's finally out 🥳 so proud of this team work 💪 best team ever 🥰@SikandarLab

Great talk on Venoms and Pain - what doesn't kill you might cure your Pain!
Had a great time in #IASP2022 🇨🇦
