Brief Description of Research Interest :

One of the most challenging dilemmas encountered in the clinic is the fact that the most effective pain relieving drugs are also heavily rewarding, and thus have a strong abuse liability (see: opioids). So while the use of opioids in acute pain or terminal, palliative care is well established, the use of these drugs for long-term, non-cancer pain remains controversial. In my research line, I am interested in how reward changes in a chronic pain state, and whether the neuroanatomical and functional underpinnings of reward are the same when opioids are taken to relieve pain, rather than for recreational use.
