Dr Luke Grundy

Dr Grundy is a discovery scientist, and Head of the NeuroUrology Research Group at Flinders University. He is an internationally recognised expert in the functional classes of afferents that innervate the bladder, and the channels and receptors underlying their function in health and chronic pain states.

Dr Grundy's research is at the intersection of neuroscience, urology, and oncology where he is seeking to identify novel therapeutic targets and develop the next generation of treatments for debilitating bladder pain associated with the side effects of treatment for cancer. Dr Grundy is passionate about team building and talent development to promote the next generation of Australian Neuroscientists. He manages a team of staff and students and leads projects involving academic, clinical and industry collaborators from diverse disciplines including immunology, microbiology, urology, oncology, and neuroscience. 

Dr Grundy has a proven research track record, with over 50 peer-reviewed manuscripts and book chapters including in high impact journals such as Nature, Pain, JCI insight, Scientific Reports, and the American Journal of Physiology. He also has invited reviews published in Annual Reviews of Physiology, American Journal of Physiology, and Neurourology & Urodynamics.
