We are a basic pain research laboratory in the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Texas at Dallas. Led by Dr. Kate Sadler, we use animal models and human tissues to characterize the molecules and cells involved in peripheral and central sensory transmission. We are particularly interested in deconstructing the circuits through which gut microbes and metabolites drive pain.
