EVENT OVERVIEW Hosted by the IMB Centre for Pain Research, we invite
you to the first Brisbane-wide whole-day multidisciplinary pain
research symposium to be held on Friday 7 December at the Queensland
Bioscience Precinct Auditorium. This student-led event brings together
pain research groups from different disciplines across Brisbane and
provides a platform for researchers at all career stages to showcase
their work alongside leading national and international speakers in
the field.
THIS SYMPOSIUM IS OPEN TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY WITH AN
INTEREST IN ADVANCING PAIN RESEARCH AND TREATMENTS.
Our aim is to stimulate scientific discussion, collaboration and
ongoing engagement to advance pain research and treatments with all
sectors of the community, i.e. basic and clinical pain researchers,
people living with pain-related conditions, medical practitioners and
allied health professionals, academics and hospital administrators,
industry representatives, government health agencies & regulatory
bodies, people caring for those living with pain-related conditions
and community support groups.
_GENEROUS PRIZES FOR THE BEST POSTERS AND BEST PUNCHY POSTER TALKS
WILL BE AWARDED!_
