In the second of a 3 part series on Pain, Dr David Klyne will offer new insights into the relationship between sleep and pain by highlighting findings from recent human and animal studies. These findings will get at the mechanisms underlying this relationship as well as how sleep can start to be considered in the clinic for preventing and managing chronic pain.
Dr David Klyne is a NHMRC Leadership Fellow and Fulbright Scholar at the University of Queensland. There he leads an international team that probe the bio-psycho-social mechanisms that underlie physiological and pathological pain, including the transition to chronicity. His niche is in understanding the neuro-immune pathways involved and how they can be targeted with interventions using a blend of basic and clinical sciences and his skills and knowledge gained through his four degrees – neuro-immunology (PhD, 2018), molecular biology (Master), physiotherapy (Doctorate) and applied sciences (Bachelor). This work has received international acclaim, including winning the ISSLS Prize—the premier international prize in spinal research—twice. He was one of ten Australian scientists to attend the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting (on two separate occasions), and has received $95K in research prize money and >$15M ($6M as CIA/PI) in research funding.
