Dr. Calvo was awarded her PhD in 2010 by King’s College London, UK, working in Professor David Bennett’s lab. She returned to Chile in 2013, where she set up her own lab. She is working in two lines of research: painful small-fiber neuropathy in skin conditions and the role of Kv1 channels in counterbalancing hyperexcitability in neuropathic pain. She takes a translational approach ranging from in vitro models to human psychophysics. The National Commission for Scientific and Technological Research in Chile funds her work. Dr. Calvo is part of the pain unit at the university hospital, where she sees neuropathic pain patients.
