International Research consortia

  • IMI-PAINCARE (2018-2023). Improving the care of patients suffering from acute or chronic pain. https://imi-paincare.eu. This Consortium, composed of 40 participants from 14 countries addresses three important topics: patient reported outcome measures to improve management of acute and chronic pain, pharmacological validation of functional pain biomarkers in healthy subjects and animals, and improving translation in chronic pelvic pain. IoNS researchers involved: André Mouraux, Patricia Lavand’homme.
  • MULTITOUCH (2020-2024). Multimodal haptic with touch devices. https://multitouch-itn.eu. This H2020 project (MSCA ITN) aims at providing high level training in the multidisciplinary field of haptics (neuroscience, computer science, rehabilitation, human-computer interfaces, multisensory tactile displays and virtual reality). IoNS researchers involved: Olivier Collignon, André Mouraux.
  • QSPAINRELIEF (2020-2024). Effective combinational treatment of chronic pain in individual patients, by an innovative quantitative systems pharmacology pain relief approach. https://qspainrelief.eu. This H2020 project unites experts on chronic pain, pharmacology, pharmacogenomics, personalised medicine, systems biology, and in silico modelling to develop novel approaches for identifying combinational treatment paradigms with improved analgesia and reduced adverse effects using a Quantitative Systems Pharmacology approach and advanced in silico technologies.
