About Jason

Professor Jason Ivanusic is a Professor in the Department of Anatomy and Physiology within the School of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Melbourne, part of the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences. He received his PhD from Monash University in 2002, after which he held academic teaching and research positions at the University of New South Wales from 2002 to 2005, before joining the University of Melbourne in 2006, where he advanced to full Professor in 2021. As Head of the Ivanusic Laboratory on Pain and Sensory Mechanisms, his research investigates the neural basis of skeletal pain, including how bone-innervating sensory neurons detect noxious stimuli and how their excitability changes in inflammation and osteoarthritis. His work encompasses in vivo electrophysiological recordings from bone nociceptors, neuroanatomical mapping of sensory nerve terminals, molecular mechanisms contributing to bone pain hypersensitivity, and the efficacy of ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks for pain relief. Ivanusic also explores structure-function relationships in corneal sensory nerve terminals and therapeutic strategies to target pathological pain states.
