NC Veterinary Pain Short Course

APRIL 20 @ 8:00 AM - APRIL 22 @ 1:00 PM
hosted by CPREC (NC State Comparative Pain Research and Education Center)

Brain Cells and Deep Space

NC State College of Veterinary Medicine is proud to host the sixth international Veterinary Pain Short Course on pain, pain mechanisms and novel therapies in veterinary medicine,  APRIL 20, 21 AND 22: Embassy Suites Raleigh – Durham Airport/Brier Creek, Raleigh NC.  This meeting is unique in veterinary medicine for its emphasis upon fundamental (basic) principles and mechanisms of pain as they pertain to the veterinary patient.

Pain in the veterinary patient is a rich and complex phenomenon. The development of therapeutics to manage that pain state has been a subject of great interest, and advances in therapeutics reflects upon the growth in our understanding of the basic mechanisms in pain processing.

Interest in pain and its management is a natural focus of the veterinary profession as mandated by the AVMA and the standards set by the AAHA/AAFP and practiced by the International Veterinary Association for Pain Management (IVAPM).

Vet Pain is unique for a detailed emphasis upon fundamental principles and mechanisms of pain as they pertain to the veterinary patient.

Course consists of lectures with comprehensive lecture handouts and representative papers

This program is approved for 16.5  hours of veterinary continuing education credit in jurisdictions that recognize RACE approval.

parkThomas Park, PhD
Professor and Associate Department Head
University of Illinois

His first research experience was as an undergrad, working on perceptual learning in birds and gerbils at the Johns Hopkins University. In graduate school at the University of Maryland, he also worked on perceptual learning in a songbird lab. While there, he became intrigued with sound localization and he designed behavioral tests to measure sound localization ability in birds. After grad school, he spent a brief post-doc at the Institute for Cellular and Molecular Embryology in Paris, examining inherent perceptual preferences in chickens and quail for species-specific maternal calls. He then spent a 5-year post-doc at the University of Texas pursuing his interest in sound localization on a physiological level. While at Texas, he met Gerhard Neuweiler from the University of Munich, who encouraged him to apply for an Alexander von Humboldt Fellowship to work in his lab for a year. As an assistant professor at UIC, he continued to work on sound localization using electrophysiology and the bat model system. For sabbatical, he worked for a year at the Max Planck Institute for Neurobiology in Munich, focusing on the role of neuromodulators in shaping sound localization sensitivity. Over the past 20 years at UIC, he shifted his research program to study neurophysiological adaptations in the naked mole-rat. In addition to research, he enjoys interacting with undergraduates, and integrating naked mole-rat experiments into student lab classes.


Ashlee H. Rowe PhD
Assistant Professor of Biology
University of Oklahoma

Dr Rowe is an Assistant Professor of Neurobiology in the Department of Biology and Graduate Program in Cellular & Behavioral Neurobiology at the University of Oklahoma. My research program integrates venom biochemistry with ion channel physiology and animal behavior to study sensory and neuromuscular systems. My goals are to understand how animals respond to noxious stimuli, how genotypes interact with environmental stimuli to yield phenotypic variation in sensory systems, and how phenotypic variation alters behavior. To address these questions, I study predator-prey interactions that rely on fast, specialized sensory inputs and motor responses. Arizona bark scorpions produce peptide toxins that modify the activation and inactivation gates of voltage-dependent sodium ion channels expressed in primary sensory neurons. These peptides induce burning, stinging pain and hypersensitivity to touch and pressure. Grasshopper mice, scorpion predators, are resistant to pain-inducing peptides via amino acid variation in sodium channels that regulate pain signal transmission. Interactions between venom peptides and sodium channels enable the examination of the molecular mechanisms by which animals transduce sensory stimuli and generate behavioral responses. The strength of this system is that differential sensory phenotypes (e.g., inter-individual variation in pain sensitivity) expressed in natural populations can be linked to genetic variation in ion-channel encoding genes, laying the foundation for contributions to translational medicine. I am currently collaborating with proteomic and structural biology researchers to elucidate the biophysical mechanisms of peptide-mediated inhibition of the pain-signal regulating sodium channel NaV1.8. Knowledge of the mechanisms that underlie pain signal transmission will advance our understanding of pain systems in healthy and diseased states.
sneddonLynne Sneddon PhD
University of Gothenburg

Dr Lynne Sneddon obtained her Ph.D in 1998 at Glasgow University studying animal behaviour, physiology and neurobiology in crustaceans. After a postdoctoral position studying weakly electric fish at Manchester University Lynne obtained a position at the Roslin Institute where she began characterising pain receptors in fish for the first time with Dr Mike Gentle. Lynne moved to the University of Liverpool in 2002 on a fellowship where she has used an integrative approach to understand mechanisms of behaviour and specialises in addressing question in aquatic animal welfare. Her work has demonstrated fish are capable of experiencing pain using techniques in neuroanatomy, physiology and molecular biology. Lynne has pursued research which aims to improve fish welfare in the aquaculture, fisheries, laboratory and ornamental contexts. In September 2020 Lynne took up a new academic position at Gothenburg University in Sweden where she continues to investigate how the welfare of aquatic animals can be improved particularly in crustaceans, cephalopods and fishes. Her latest work has involved developing AI monitoring tools to gauge the severity of pain in fish and test a range of pain-relieving drugs. Lynne is Convenor of a FELASA Working Group developing pain management strategies for laboratory zebrafish as well as advising several external groups on aquatic animal welfare.
