The Genetics of Chronic Backpain

Research led by Professor Frances Williams has been turned into an animation. The animation explains how, in the largest study of its kind, Professor Williams’ team studied 440,000 people to identify three new genes that are associated with disc degeneration and so linked to chronic back pain. 

Watch it on YouTube here.
