Dr. Gregory Dussor is Professor and Chair of the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Texas at Dallas. The focus of his laboratory is on understanding the pathophysiology of chronic headache disorders such as migraine. His work focuses on mechanisms of activation and sensitization of peripheral nociceptors innervating the cranial meninges with a goal of understanding how these neurons contribute to the pain phase of migraine attacks. Using several preclinical models, his group has identified and studied numerous targets within this afferent nociceptive system. He has published over 130 peer- reviewed research articles, he has served on the editorial boards of Pain, Pain Reports, Molecular Pain, the Journal of Pain, Headache, the Journal of Headache and Pain, and the Journal of Neuroscience, and he is on administrative committees for the US and International Associations for the Study of Pain (USASP and IASP) and the American Headache Society.
