IASP is excited to announce the launch of the Neuroimmunology Special Interest Group (SIG), created to advance understanding of how immune mechanisms influence pain across conditions and the lifespan. As part of IASP’s commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration, this SIG will serve as a hub for research, education and clinical engagement in this evolving field.
Mission and Vision
The Neuroimmunology SIG will advance understanding of the immune mechanisms of pain across conditions and the lifespan by promoting communication, education, and collaboration within the IASP community.
Goals of the SIG
- Promote communication and exchange among scientists and healthcare professionals studying neuroimmune mechanisms of pain, fostering interdisciplinary dialogue across disciplines, career stages, and geographic regions.
- Advance education and professional development by providing accessible forums that disseminate emerging concepts, methodological approaches, and clinically relevant perspectives in pain neuroimmunology.
- Facilitate collaboration and integration within IASP by providing a dedicated organizational home for neuroimmunology in pain, connecting members and strengthening cross-cutting engagement across the Society. The establishment of a Neuroimmunology SIG aligns with the IASP Vision and Strategic Plan by supporting an increasingly influential dimension of pain science within the Society.
