Biography

Anthony Jones is Professor of Neuro-rheumatology at Manchester University and leads the Human Pain Research Group. Whilst at the Hammersmith Hospital, he pioneered the development of techniques to image neuro-chemical and metabolic brain responses to pain using Positron Emission Tomography. Over the last twenty years, he has used a number of functional brain imaging techniques to understand the normal and abnormal mechanisms of pain perception. He also leads the International Association for the Study of Pain Musculoskeletal Pain Taskforce and has led the development of National and International Guidelines on the Integrated Management of Musculoskeletal Pain (jointly sponsored by the BSR and the IASP).
