On May 22nd, Krembil Senior Scientist Dr. Karen Davis became the President-Elect of the Canadian Pain Society (CPS).
CPS is a society of scientists and health professionals who have a vested interest in pain research and management. The society supports the treatment of pain as a basic human right and is currently advocating for a Canadian National Pain Strategy.
Dr. Davis will serve as President-Elect for two years, after which she will serve as the President for the subsequent two years. In her new role, she is hoping to draw more attention to pain research, care and education.
At UHN, Dr. Davis’ research program is focused on deciphering the central mechanisms underlying pain, and the influence of attention and brain plasticity under normal conditions and in patients with neurologic or psychiatric disorders.
Congratulations Dr. Davis!
