Alabama Summit on Addiction and Pain 2026: research and an optional HCV session
Pain research has a place alongside addiction-prevention updates at the Alabama Summit on Addiction and Pain 2026. The program includes two keynote speakers, oral and poster presentations, and an optional session for attendees interested in hepatitis C treatment.
Research in several formats
The summit lists oral and poster presentations as well as updates on activities at UAB’s Center for Addiction and Pain Prevention and Intervention, the UAB Institute for Human Rights and the Addiction Prevention Coalition. Its call for poster abstracts also offered submitters consideration for a five-minute oral presentation in the Young Investigator Data Blitz; the submission deadline has passed.
The two announced keynote speakers lead pain-research organizations: Michael L. Oshinsky, Ph.D., directs the NINDS Office of Preclinical Pain Research, while Theodore (Ted) Price, Ph.D., directs the Center for Advanced Pain Studies at the University of Texas at Dallas. Their individual presentation times and topics have not been listed, so attendees planning around a particular speaker should check for the full agenda.
