I graduated with a PhD from the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel. I was then awarded a Rothschild Postdoctoral Fellowship and worked on the role of T cells in neuropathic pain at The University of Cincinnati Medical Centre (USA). I then moved to the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney Australia, where I was awarded the UNSW Vice-Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellowship, followed by the NSW Office of Science and Medical Research (OSMR) Career Development Fellowship under the NSW Spinal Cord Injury and Related Neurological Conditions Research Grants Program. Since 2015, I have been working as a combined track (Teaching & Research) academic in the Department of Physiology, where I lead the Neuropathic Pain Research Group at the Translational Neuroscience Facility. I manage a team of postdocs, undergraduate research students (Honours), and PhD students. I am also the Postgraduate Coordinator, School of Medical Sciences.
As CIA I lead NHMRC grants on preclinical studies in neuropathic pain.
