We train postgraduate students, postdoctoral scientists and clinician scientists in a wide range of research disciplines relevant to pain research. The Consortium is now funded by a 5 year Wellcome Trust Strategic Award and is based at University College London, Imperial College London, King’s College London and University of Oxford.
