Research Workshop Will Delve into Search for New Pain Treatments in Natural ProductsJanuary 25, 2019 Wen G. Chen, Ph.D. D. Craig Hopp, Ph.D. We’re excited to tell you about a workshop that we believe to be the first on its topic at the NIH. If you conduct research on basic and mechanistic research on natural products and/or pain signaling, we hope you’ll join us at “Natural Products and Pain: The Search for Novel Non-opioid Analgesics.” The workshop is on Wednesday, February 6, 2019, on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland. A few seats remain at press time, registration is free, and the event will also be streamed live and archived at videocast.nih.gov. “Natural Products and Pain” is co-sponsored by NCCIH, the National Institute on Neurological Disorders and Stroke, and the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences. We’re honored that David Julius, Ph.D., agreed to chair the planning committee and the event. Dr. Julius is an expert of international renown on the molecular biology of how signals are received and transmitted by the nervous system, including in touch and pain. His team has also researched natural products (e.g., capsaicin, the main pungent ingredient in “hot” chili peppers) in relation to these phenomena. He is professor and chair of the physiology department at the University of California-San Francisco School of Medicine. |
