Fairmont Le Château Montebello
Montebello, QC, Canada
The Executive Committee is composed of seven high-energy, successful scientists from a number of disciplines—including basic science, translational research, and clinical and psychosocial science— from across Canada and the U.S. They will organize and attend NAPS every year. They are:
A basic scientist studying genetic, sex, and social modulation of pain, from McGill University in Montreal
A clinical psychologist studying pediatric pain from Dalhousie University and the IWK Health Centre in Halifax
Our laboratory is interested in the fundamental principles underlying pain plasticity. Our goal is to develop novel therapeutics based on these discoveries with the potential to either prevent the development of or permanently reverse chronic pain states.
A clinical researcher studying psychosocial factors that affect acute and chronic pain from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
A behavioral pharmacologist studying the functional consequences of pain and analgesic drugs using animal models from California State University, East Bay.
A pain imager studying cognitive-emotional pain modulation from University of Zurich
Following recommendations of the Executive Committee, the scientific coordinators of the Quebec Pain Research Network will serve as the Coordinating Team of NAPS, handling all local organizing responsibilities related to venue, transportation, and outings.
