The NIH Pain Consortium invites you to attend a Symposium on May 1, 2007 at the NIH campus, entitled: “Advances in Pain Research”

The intent of the symposium is to present new and exciting advances in pain research and pain management, featuring work done through NIH support. Topics will include mechanisms and management of neuropathic pain, visceral pain, inflammatory pain, and treatment-induced pain. A poster session will include a broad selection of current pain research findings presented by junior investigators. Members of the extramural scientific community, the NIH scientific community, health care providers, and the public are invited to attend. The event will be hosted by the Co-Chairs of the NIH Pain Consortium.

The NIH Pain Consortium was established to enhance pain research and promote collaboration among researchers across the many NIH Institutes and Centers that have programs and activities addressing pain. The NIH Pain Consortium is made up of representatives from twenty Institutes, Centers, and Offices across NIH. It is co-chaired by Lawrence Tabak, D.D.S., Ph.D., Director National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, Story Landis, Ph.D., Director National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, and Patricia A.
