Franziska Denk is a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) at King’s College London, where she works on neuroimmune interactions and epigenetic mechanisms in the context of chronic pain. Her lab uses transgenic models and high-throughput molecular analyses, such as RNA-seq, on sorted cell populations (https://www.franziskadenk.com/, @denk_lab).
Franziska studied Experimental Psychology at the University of Oxford and completed her DPhil there in 2009. She started her own research group in 2017 with the help of an MRC New Investigator Research Grant. Since then, she has also received funding from the European Union (IMI2), industry and several charities.
Franziska is passionate about data sharing (Denk, Nature, 2017) and interdisciplinary research in an open, positive research culture.
