Event Summary
Approved by the Society of Biology for purposes of CPD, this event may be counted as 61 CPD credits.

This 2.5 day course brings together neuropeptide and TRP nerve activation interests from the UK, Europe and America. There is a list of speakers who are carrying out cutting edge translational studies. In addition, there will be talks chosen from the submitted abstracts as well as poster sessions. This meeting will offer bursaries for young scientists and networking opportunities for all. We are arranging a social programme to fit with our location, right at the centre of London.
