Hello everyone, and welcome to Exploring Pain: Research, Practice, and Perspectives.

I’m delighted to have you join us for this new webinar series, where we’ll be talking with leading pain experts about a wide range of important topics in pain research and clinical care.

My goal with this series is to make pain research more accessible—to everyone. Whether you’re a researcher working in preclinical, translational, or clinical research; a clinician seeking to connect research to practice; a person with lived experience of pain; or a policymaker interested in evidence-informed decision making - we hope these conversations will offer something meaningful and relevant to you.

Each session will highlight not only the science, but also the perspectives that shape how we understand and address pain - bridging research, clinical practice, and lived experience.

Laura Wandner, PhD
