Research Theme
Interests
Dr. Wheeler's main clinical interest is Pain Medicine, and since his appointment to the Lectureship in Anaesthesia in the Department of Medicine, he is building collaborations to explore the potential novel interventions for chronic painful conditions, especially neuropathic pain. He has also studied patient safety topics and the use of helium in respiratory failure. Dan is an honorary Consultant in Anaesthesia and Pain Medicine at Addenbrooke's Hospital. For his PhD thesis, Dr Wheeler studied the effect of anaesthetic drugs on immune cell function, and the influence of chemokines on neural stem cell migration.
