Geoffrey Burnstock

Geoffrey Burnstock, PhD, is best known for his discovery that ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is a transmitter in NANC (non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic) nerves and also for the discovery and definition of P2 purinergic receptors, their receptors, their signaling pathways and their functional relevance. He has applied his research to the understanding of pain mechanisms, as well as many other areas not related to ME/CFS.
