Bertarelli Symposium 2022: Understanding and Conquering Pain

Pain is a critically important defense system for avoiding injury and a clinically important aspect of many maladies. Treatment for pain, especially for chronic pain, is one of the great challenges of medicine. A recent symposium brought together an international group of experts to discuss new findings on the causes of acute and chronic pain and examine potential new strategies for treatment.

We also celebrated the accomplishments of the Bertarelli Program in Translational Neuroscience and Neuroengineering, established in 2010 to bridge the gap between basic and translational neuroscience by supporting basic and clinical research oriented toward translational opportunities; by creating stronger ties among scientists, engineers, and clinicians; and by training the next generation of leaders in the field.
