What if the key to pain resilience lies within our own cells? Scheduled for Saturday, April 5th at 1:30 pm during PainConnect, Dr. Stephen Waxman will take center stage with his keynote session, “Huxley’s Science Fiction: Ion Channels in Pain, Pain Resilience, and Beyond.” A leader in neuroscience and pain research, Dr. Waxman will explore how ion channels—once the realm of science fiction—are now unlocking groundbreaking possibilities for pain treatment and resilience.
What to Expect
This session will take attendees on a journey through cutting-edge discoveries in pain neuroscience, including:
- The Role of Ion Channels: How these molecular gatekeepers influence pain perception and resilience.
- Breakthroughs in Pain Genetics: Insights into rare genetic mutations that make individuals more or less sensitive to pain.
- Future Therapeutic Possibilities: How ion channel research is shaping the next generation of non-opioid pain treatments.
Why It Matters
Dr. Waxman’s pioneering work has transformed our understanding of pain at the cellular level. His research not only advances potential new therapies but also offers hope for millions living with chronic pain conditions. This keynote will inspire attendees to think beyond conventional approaches and embrace the future of precision pain medicine.
