Welcome to the Campana Lab

As a NIH training Fellow, I became interested in regenerative cell responses, particularly in Schwann cells (SC), which are essential for functional peripheral nerve repair. With mentoring from Drs. John O’Brien and Robert Myers, I developed a strong interest in how ligand and receptor systems regulate neuroinflammation, regeneration and neuropathic pain.

Research in the Campana Lab

We study how peripheral glia, Schwann cells (SCs), affect neuropathic pain processes. We focus on the molecular and cellular response of nerve injury to better understand the mechanisms underlying the development, and transition to chronic pain.
