Mogil is a world-renowned advocate for translational and well-balanced science and an expert in pain science. He will present a lecture titled “Pain in Mice and Man: Ironic Adventures in Translation,” which dives into research indicating that men and women tolerate and remember pain differently.

A mingle with Mogil will take place immediately following the lecture at 6:30 p.m.

He is also the founder and director of the North American Pain School and director of the Alan Edwards Centre for Research on Pain. He is a prolific speaker, having given lectures on topics including the genetics of pain, sex differences in mechanisms of pain, and pain testing in rodents.
