"Pain Detectives" It is a proposal that has the purpose of making known those Spanish researchers who are at the forefront of research in the field of pain.

Through a series of interviews format webinar, activity coordinator, Carlos Goicochea, will talk with basic and clinical researchers who have something to contribute to the knowledge of the future of pain, both its biology and its diagnosis and treatment. The interviews will take place in the Faculty of Health Sciences, in the museum located in Departmental Building II.

It is an initiative of Grünenthal, through Pain.com and endorsed by the Rey Juan Carlos University.

Chapter 0 and the starting point of the activity is the interview with Dr. Ángel Torrado Carvajal, Coordinator of the Electronic Technology Area and Technical Manager of the Medical Image Analysis and Biometrics Laboratory of the Rey Juan Carlos University.

The first webinar is entitled "Opening channels", and will be a tribute to the recent Nobel Prize winners in Medicine, David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian. To do this, we will speak with researchers Mª Carmen Ruiz Cantero, from the University of Granada, and Félix Viana de la Iglesia, from the Miguel Hernández University of Elche-CSIC, who are working to understand how neuronal channels are capable of modulating the nociceptive signal and in turn, how modulating these channels can serve to control pain.
