Labrakakis Lab

We investigate the neurobiological mechanisms involved in the sensation of pain. We are focusing on indentifying neuronal circuits, cellular and molecular aspects in the chronification of pain.

The lab is part of the Department of Biological Applications and Technologies at the University of Ioannina and affiliated with the Institute of Biosciences of the University Research Center of Ioannina (URCI)

March 2023 - Our review article "The Role of the Insular Cortex in Pain" is published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences

December 2022 - Amalia Natsi is presenting her poster "NMDA-dependent cortical plasticity in neuropathic pain" @ the 72nd Hellenic Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Conference

February 2021 - The Frontiers in Neural Circuits research topic "CNS Pain Circuits in Health and Disease" is launched with Drs Ferrini, Goldstein and Labrakakis as associate guest editors

November 2020 - The Lab receives funding as part of the BIOMED-20 Program

March 2020 - Amalia Natsi is awarded the UoI PhD fellowship. Congratulations.
