Fellow

Dave Bennett is Professor of Neurology and Neurobiology at the University of Oxford. His clinical focus has been in the management of peripheral neuropathy, neuropathic pain and painful channelopathies. His work has helped to understand the fundamental principles of sensory transduction and transmission and led to new diagnostic tests and personalised pain management . Professor Bennett has shown leadership in large international consortia. As vice-director of ‘Europain’ and director of ‘DOLORisk’ he harmonised the recruitment and deep phenotyping of the largest ever cohort of neuropathic pain patients in Europe. These have already defined risk factors for neuropathic pain and new analgesic drug targets.
