Scholar-generated biography
Hanns Ulrich Zeilhofer is a Professor of Pharmacology at the University of Zurich and ETH Zurich, specializing in pharmacology with a focus on pain mechanisms and spinal cord signaling. His research explores the role of neurotransmitters and receptors in pain processing, including glycinergic and GABAergic systems, inflammatory pain, and synaptic plasticity. Zeilhofer's work investigates how spinal cord circuits mediate pain and itch, with an emphasis on the involvement of prostaglandin receptors, endocannabinoids, and immune factors. His studies also address the therapeutic potential of targeting specific receptor subtypes to alleviate chronic pain and restore inhibitory spinal control.
