Jill C. Fehrenbacher studies how the nervous system detects pain and how nerves are damaged, with a particular focus on chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage caused by cancer drugs such as paclitaxel). The work uses laboratory models (cultured sensory neurons and rodents) to understand the molecular signals behind pain sensitivity, inflammation, and nerve injury, and to identify potential drug targets. Recent projects also explore roles for nerve signaling molecules like calcitonin gene-related peptide in tissues such as the prostate.
