New Oxford-led project aims to revolutionise chronic pain treatment
The University of Oxford is to lead a new six-year, £11 million project backed by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) which aims develop a new generation of personalised treatments capable of reducing or abolishing chronic pain.
Co-led by Professor Tim Denison (Department of Engineering Science) and Professor Ben Seymour (Nuffield Department of Clinical Neuroscience), EPIONE will combine expertise in biomedical engineering, neuroscience, and clinical medicine with input from patients who live with chronic pain, who will play a key role in shaping the design of new interventions.
