Biography
Elva’s research interest is in regulation of cellular signalling, and how these complex events can translate into human physiology and pathophysiology. Her receptors of interest are called protease-activated receptors (PARs). PARs plays critical role in regulating inflammation and pain signalling. To understand how PARs function at cellular, tissue and whole animal level will provide novel mechanisms in pain transmission and further facilitate the development of new pain therapies.
