APDP Annual Conference
The first Advanced Pain Discovery Platform (APDP) Annual Conference 2023 will be held in the Business School South, Jubilee Campus, University of Nottingham on the 26th of June 2023.
The APDP Annual Conference will build on new and established collaborations, sharing knowledge and bringing together diverse perspectives across the broad range of disciplines and stakeholder groups. The academic programme will include Elevator Pitches (short presentations of key outputs from APDP community members) linked to poster presentations, two Plenary lectures, and workshops.
The annual meeting will incorporate a PPI/E agenda, with content selected by experts in public involvement and engagement together with diverse people with lived experience of pain. Academic and PPI/E agendas will converge or mirror each other, while separate components of the programme will also recognise the needs both for detailed technical discussion, and for presentations that are accessible to a diverse audience.
The Annual Conference is open to all members of the APDP community who are registered with apdp.sixcircles, and will complement other face to face events, including APDP-organised theme-specific workshops and training, and National and International conferences in which you are encouraged to take a leading role.

Free online webinar on ‘Learning How to Get Old: A Balance of Immunity and Autoimmunity’ by Prof. Eoin Mckinney, University of Cambridge
This talk explores groundbreaking research on immune ageing, analysing data from over 6,700 individuals to reveal how immune traits change across the lifespan. Using machine learning, Eoin’s work identifies "immune age" as a predictor of mortality, independent of chronological age, and highlights key immune mechanisms linked to survival. Genetic analyses further uncover connections between immune ageing and autoimmune diseases, offering new insights into ageing and longevity.
