Biography

Andrew M. Bell is a Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging and a Senior Academic Clinician at the School of Biodiversity, Health & Veterinary Medicine at the University of Glasgow. He is a specialist veterinary anaesthetist and pain researcher, focusing on the measurement and treatment of pain in veterinary species. His research is centered on discovery neuroscience, particularly the mechanisms of spinal cord pain. He is especially interested in the heterogeneity of neurons that constitute pain and itch circuits in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord. By employing a variety of molecular, anatomical, and behavioral techniques, he investigates how neuronal identity contributes to abnormal sensory function and pain states. Over his career, he has been involved in multiple grants and projects related to pain research and the function of sensory neurons, and continues to contribute to significant findings in veterinary pain management.
