Who are we ?

Neuro-Dol is a neuroscience research unit based in Clermont-Ferrand, associated with Inserm and the University of Clermont Auvergne (UCA), specializing in the in-depth study of pain. Founded in 2012, this mixed unit draws its origins from two previous Inserm teams, bringing together their expertise in fundamental and clinical pharmacology of pain as well as in trigeminal pain and migraine.

The words of the director,
Radhouane DALLEL

Dear visitors, welcome to the Neuro-Dol website. Since our creation in 2012, we have dedicated ourselves to the understanding and treatment of chronic and trigeminal pain, combining fundamental research and clinical applications. Our multidisciplinary approach and close collaboration with local hospitals allow us to develop translational research strategies that significantly advance the field of neuroscience and improve the lives of patients. I am proud to lead such an innovative and committed team, whose efforts contribute not only to scientific excellence but also to the training of the next generation of researchers.

Our Teams & Research

Our research unit, Neuro-Dol, is organized into two major teams, each located on a separate site: team 1 operates from the Dunant site, while team 2 is established on the Estaing site. Each team is subdivided into three sub-teams, dedicated to specific areas of research. Team 1 focuses on the study of extracephalic and cephalic pain, while team 2 specializes in the pathophysiology of trigeminal pain and migraine.
