Efficacy Profiling Innovation in Novel Pain Therapeutics Discovery (2013-2018)

Abstract

In Australia, approximately 20% of the population experiences chronic pain, resulting in an enormous burden on the country's socioeconomic system. The aim of this project is to bring innovation into the methods used to select the best novel compounds for progression into development as a new generation of highly effective pain-killers for improving the relief of chronic pain. These novel pain-killers will markedly reduce the large socioeconomic burden of chronic pain in Australia and internationally.
