Lab mission
The THERMOSENSELAB specializes in basic and applied research in human body temperature regulation and skin sensing in health and disease.
Our original research programme investigates:
1) The biophysical and physiological mechanisms that allow humans to sense changes in the temperature and wetness of their skin.
2) How temperature and wetness sensing contribute to body temperature regulation and the initiation of thermal behaviours.
3) How diseases such as multiple sclerosis impair temperature and wetness sensing and increase vulnerability to thermal stress.
