Pain researcher Daniel Ciampi de Andrade from Center for Neuroplasticity and Pain, Department of Health Science and Technology at Aalborg University receives the European Research Council’s prestigious Consolidator Grant for his ground breaking research within chronic pain
Published by strategic advisor Lone Bechmann, Faculty of Medicine
Daniel Ciampi de Andrade is an Associate Professor at the Center for Neuroplasticity and Pain (CNAP) at Aalborg University. Understanding chronic pain; how and why pain is perceived differently from person to person, and how it can be treated efficiently is at the core of his research.
Even though several pain-relief treatments exist, a significant percentage of chronic pain sufferers continue to experience pain despite undergoing the standardised treatments. These patients are at the core of Daniel Ciampi de Andrade’s research.
By examining correlations between pain perception and altered connectivity between different brain regions, his work evolves around developing a method for pain relief based on read-outs of brain connectivity and non-invasive neuro-modulation – a technique that is used as a treatment for various brain disorders.
The ERC Consolidator Grant will support the research project Personalized non-invasive neuromodulation in pain (PersoNINpain) that is aimed at developing an efficient, personalized chronic pain relief through read-outs of brain activity and neuromodulation. At the same time, the grant is a prestigious recognition of Daniel Ciampi de Andrade’s work in the frontline of chronic pain research.
- This ERC grant is indeed well-deserved. Daniel and his team perform excellent and world-class frontier research. At CNAP we are proud and excited as Daniel Ciampi de Andrade is invited into the exclusive group of excellent scientists to receive an ERC grant – I personally look forward to following him and his research team, says CNAP Director, Professor Thomas Graven-Nielsen.
