SMi Group are pleased to announce the 21st Annual Pain Therapeutics Conference, taking place as a virtual conference with online access only on 11th – 11th May 2021. 

The conference will focus on looking into research within pain therapeutics.

The conference also address cutting edge drug discovery science, preclinical development trends, analysis of key clinical-stage pain therapies, with a focus on highlighting the importance of biomarker discovery and its contribution to early stage studies on pain. This will be topped off with a panel debate on rethinking pain clinical trials during the COVID-19 pandemic. And further look into treating painful osteoarthritis of the knee with a novel anti NGF, anti-TNFa bispecific fusion protein as well as therapeutic novelties signifying a paradigm shift in migraine prevention.
