Scheduled just prior to the World Congress on Pain, the 2 day conference brings together leading clinicians and basic scientists to discuss how the intersection of molecular genetics and clinical research can lead to new therapeutic approaches to neuropathic pain. The symposium will include a special session on addiction and the opioid crisis. Organizers aim to showcase and integrate a multi-disciplinary approach to pain genetics ranging from mouse models to clinical phenotyping.
ABSTRACT SUBMISSIONS
A poster session will be held for early career scientists. All posters will be reviewed by the organizers with a small number of abstracts being selected to give oral presentation of their research followed by awards for the best in conference.
*Abstract submission is closed.
