Professor Peter McNaughton is a Professor of Pharmacology at King's College London, affiliated with the Wolfson Sensory, Pain and Regeneration Centre and the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience. He holds a DPhil from the University of Oxford, an MA from the University of Cambridge, and a BSc from the University of Auckland.
His research focuses on the cellular and molecular basis of pain, thermal sensation, and thermoregulation, with recent work exploring HCN2 ion channels' role in pain pathways and drug development. Key projects include investigating opioid-induced hyperalgesia, tinnitus mechanisms, and migraine treatments, supported by grants from the MRC, Wellcome Trust, and Brain Research UK.
McNaughton is a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences and has published extensively in journals like *Nature*, *Science*, and *EMBO Journal*. His lab has initiated drug development projects based on discoveries in ion channel modulation and pain management.
Recent articles highlight his work on PGE2's role in pain, tinnitus identification in mice, and HCN2's involvement in opioid tolerance. Collaborations span global institutions, advancing understanding of sensory neuroscience and translational medicine.
