Wolfson Sensory, Pain and Regeneration Centre

 

 

Research in the Wolfson Sensory, Pain and Regeneration Centre (Wolfon SPaRC) focuses on the molecular basis of pain and hearing loss, and on neural repair and regeneration following disease and injury. Our fundamental mission is to understand the biological mechanisms behind these neurological and sensory disorders and harness this knowledge to develop new therapeutic strategies. To achieve these goals, we conduct cutting-edge translational neuroscience research in a positive, inclusive, and collaborative environment.

A core strength of the Wolfson SPaRC is the parallel use of pre-clinical cell and in vivo models, alongside human cellular models, which provides an essential platform for us to forward- and back-translate our fundamental research to and from the clinic. Additional strengths lie in our world-leading expertise in neuroplasticity, interdisciplinary neuro-immune research, high-throughput sequencing technologies, drug discovery and advanced therapeutics.

Our research spans the following areas:

 

 

How to Find us

The Hodgkin Building is located on Guy's campus. It is close to London Bridge on the South Bank of the River Thames and close to Guy's Hospital.
