IASP Webinar — Basic Science of Pain in Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities — September 8, 2026

We are pleased to announce an upcoming IASP webinar, “Basic Science of Pain in Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities,” taking place on Wednesday, 8 September 2026 at 10:00 a.m. EDT. Free to IASP members; $25 for non-members.

Hosted by the Pain in Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities SIG (PIDDSIG), this 60-minute webinar brings together researchers investigating rodent models of these conditions to advance understanding of pain mechanisms in intellectual and developmental disabilities, with the goal of improving pain management for affected individuals. The session covers environmental and genetic rodent models, behavioural phenotypes and their relation to clinical phenotype, and the mechanisms underlying them.

Moderator: Dr. Brian McGuire Presenters: Dr. Carole Torsney (University of Edinburgh) and Dr. Michelle Roche (University of Galway)
