National and local media cover UNE's $10 million NIH grant to conduct research and establish a center on the neurobiology of pain

Dozens of print, TV and online media news outlets - including CBS News Money Watch, NBC News, BloombergBusinessWeek, Mainebiz, Mass High Tech, the Boston Globe, Portland Press Herald, Bangor Daily News, WMTW, and WCSH - covered UNE's announcement that it has been awarded a $10 million NIH grant to conduct research and establish a center on the neurobiology of pain.

The five-year award will be used to establish the UNE Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) for the Study of Pain and Sensory Function. UNE’s COBRE aims to significantly contribute to the scientific understanding of the neurobiology of chronic pain and sensory function, facilitating the discovery and development of new therapies.

Associate Professor of Physiology Ian Meng, Ph.D. serves as the principal investigator, and Professor Edward Bilsky, Ph.D., associate provost for research and scholarship, is a co-investigator. More on the grant.
