Allen Dickie

Dr. Allen Dickie is a Researcher at the University of Glasgow's School of Psychology & Neuroscience. His work focuses on spinal cord neuronal circuits, particularly the molecular and anatomical characterization of neurons involved in pain and sensory processing. He collaborates extensively on projects involving the anterolateral system, dorsal horn circuits, and neuropeptide signaling pathways. His research bridges molecular, anatomical, and electrophysiological approaches to understand how spinal circuits modulate pain and itch. Recent studies include investigations into Tacr1/Gpr83-expressing spinal projection neurons and somatostatin-expressing anterolateral system neurons. Dr. Dickie has been supervised by Andrew Bell and contributes to datasets on spinal neurobiology. His work is published in journals like Molecular Pain, Scientific Reports, and Pain, with a strong emphasis on translational neuroscience linking human pain mechanisms to animal models.
