ncRNAPain Project Start: New EU research project on the trail of chronic pain

With today’s start of ncRNAPain, a new European research project sets out to further explore the biological mechanisms underlying chronic pain. Endowed with an overall funding budget of 6 million euros by the European Commission for the next four years, the project will focus on the impact of non-coding RiboNucleic Acids (ncRNAs) in the genereation, propagation and relive of pain. In order to achieve this ambitious goal Prof Kress, coordinator of the project, brought together a multidisciplinary project consortium of leading molecular and systems-level neuroscientists and bioinformatics as well as ncRNA experts and clinical partners from eleven European partner institutions.
