International Pain Conference
Bench to Bedside
Approaches in drug research and development for pain therapies.
March 8-9, 2023
Bench to Bedside International Pain Conference
There has been tremendous progress over the past decade in understanding the neurobiology of pain and CNS conditions. An explosion of cutting-edge methodologies and tools are emerging that more closely link preclinical and clinical development.
Bridging the gap from bench to bedside will require new and innovative ways of thinking, an increased investment in resources, and a collaborative approach among industry experts.
MD Biosciences research collaborative is bringing together some of the most innovative minds for a 2-day event. These experts will discuss how translational models, biomarkers and other clinically relevant endpoints, and interactions with clinical physicians will bring new approaches that aid in successful development of pain therapies.
