Translational Science in Neuropathic Pain: The State of the Art. Global Year 2026. Feb. 12, 2026 at 8:00AM ET

This webinar will take place on Thursday, 12 February at 08:00 a.m. ET

Register here.

This Global Year 2026 webinar is free to all. 

As part of the IASP Global Year 2026 on Neuropathic Pain, this webinar explores how modern translational science is reshaping our understanding and treatment of neuropathic pain. Focusing on trustworthiness, reproducibility, and robust research methods, the session will highlight current gaps in translation from bench to bedside and discuss emerging solutions that support personalized medicine.

The webinar will provide a brief historical overview and examine three key pillars of successful translation: clinical phenotyping for patient stratification (including tools such as quantitative sensory testing and microneurography), the use of human biological samples, and advanced model systems to test functional mechanisms. Cutting-edge approaches, ranging from advanced imaging and iPSC-based models to organoids, co-cultures, big data, and human-centered translational strategies, will be discussed to illustrate the state of the art and future directions in neuropathic pain research.
