About the Summer school
The « Neural circuits of pain: from physiology to pathology » summer school is primarily open to PhD students and post-doctoral fellows with an interest in neurology, neuroscience, molecular biology, and electrophysiology. Applications from Master’s students (MSc) and tenure-track researchers are also welcome.
The five-day programme will allow students to explore the physiological and pathological aspects of pain, employing cutting-edge technologies. Renowned scientists will train participants for advancements in pain treatment. Course content includes advanced courses, workshops on techniques as well as hands-on training.
Initially a joint initiative of the University of Bordeaux, the CERVO research centre at Université Laval (Québec City, Canada), and the Institute of Cellular and Integrative Neuroscience in Strasbourg (France), the third edition will integrate new partners from the ENLIGHT European University alliance (Galway, Ghent and Bern) thanks to the PainNet Project. It will be hosted by the University of Bordeaux, within the premises of the Bordeaux School of Neuroscience.
