One in five Europeans suffer chronic pain, yet few treatments offer adequate relief. Mun-Keat Looi talks to researchers from the London Pain Consortium.
Janet and her daughter Lucy live with chronic pain in their feet. See them visit the clinic of Dr David Bennett, a member of the London Pain Consortium.
Many common drugs can have harmful side-effects. The Serious Adverse Events Consortium is working to understand the genetic background to these reactions.
The Human Genome Project and development of faster, cheaper DNA sequencing revolutionised biological research and the technology is still evolving.
