In the Davis lab, I’m using optogenetics to activate and inhibit vagal and spinal afferents running in the greater splanchnic to drive and reverse pain behaviors in mice experiencing chronic pancreatitis and in a genetic mouse model of pancreatic cancer. I’m also determining how the transcriptome of vagal and spinal afferents changes during development of chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer.
