个人简介

罗昕，香港大学李嘉诚医学院麻醉学系博士，美国杜克大学医学中心麻醉学系博士后。长期从事慢性疼痛发病机理的系统性研究，揭示了巨噬细胞等免疫细胞通过与外周感觉神经元互作调节病理性疼痛的分子机制。已发表SCI论文30余篇，以第一或通讯作者（含共同）在Neuron、Brain, Behavior, and Immunity、Nature Communications、Journal of Neuroscience等杂志发表论文11篇，受邀撰写英文书籍章节1章。获得国家自然科学基金委面上项目、广东省“珠江人才计划-青年拔尖人才”等项目的资助。是中国神经生物学会感觉和运动分会委员、广东省药理学会神经药理委员会委员。担任Frontiers in Pain Research、Frontiers in Pharmacology等学术期刊的编辑或客座编辑。被Neural Regeneration Research杂志评为2018年度优秀审稿人。
