Description

Organizers:
Sophie Pezet, Bernard Calvino (ESPCI, France), and Abcam

Following the success of the first symposium on Synaptic Plasticity in Pain held at King's College London, Abcam is pleased to announce a follow-up symposium to be held over two days in Spring 2011, in Paris, France.

The meeting will cover various aspects of pain including:

  • Inflammatory and neuropathic pain
  • Bone cancer and visceral pain
  • New models of persistent pain

To encourage discussion and interaction, we are combining outstanding and exciting science and a relaxed, pleasant environment.

This meeting will be a great place for junior scientists to present their work.
