Background

Dr Jennifer Deuis is a post-doctoral fellow located at the Institute for Molecular Bioscience (IMB) at the University of Queensland. Her current research focus is to utilise venom to discover and develop novel research tools that selectively modulate pain-sensing neurons, with a specific focus on toxins that target voltage-gated sodium channels.
