In mid-May the BonePainII Consortium convened in Cambridge for its final meeting, this time at the brand new AstraZeneca Discovery Centre in Cambridge, UK. It has been a pleasure to follow the journey of our 15 Early Stage Researchers in the BonePainII network, a European Innovative Training Network committed to promote training within bone pain.

The BonePainII Training Network is pleased to announce the online BonePainII Open Symposium on Thursday 12 May 2022 14:00-15:10 (London-time): Dr Nicholas Ryba, Senior Investigator, Sensory Biology and Pain, National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), US (14:00-14:40): “Transcriptomic analysis reveals similarities as well as striking differences between somatosensory neurons in humans and mice”. Dr
Clarissa Butti, a BonePainII PhD student at University College London, UCL, UK, was invited as a speaker at an event organised by the Rotary Club Lecco Le Grigne in Lecco, Italy, 21 April 2022. The title of her talk was “From theory to action: my little contribution in fighting pain”. Clarissa started by presenting her
Stephania Kalegora, a BonePainII PhD student based at the Danish company Nordic Bioscience, had a poster presentation at the OARSI conference in Berlin 7-10 April 2022. The title of her poster was “A Noval Cathepsin K Mediated Fragment of C-Reactive Protein As a Biomarker for Bone Inflammation”. Together with colleagues from Nordic Bioscience Stephania presented
At the beginning of October 2021 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) Lydia Moll and Nils Simon gave two online “Skype a scientist” sessions for High School students in the USA. “Skype a scientist” is an online platform that offers the public a great opportunity to meet with various scientists from all over the world. Lydia and
The Second Annual BonePainII took place in Porto 22-24 September 2021. This was the first time the Consortium could meet in person again since the kick-off meeting in September 2019 London, due to Covid-19. The Early Stage Researchers (ESR) started the meeting with a site visit to the facilities of the I3S – Instituto de
On 11 March 2021 Iain Chessell, Global Head of Neuroscience, BioPharmaceuticals Research & Development at AstraZeneca, UK, gave an inspirational career talk to the BonePainII ESRs in the BonePainII Informal Career Talks Serie. Iain Chessell presented the choices he had made in his career. He stressed the importance of diversity, people and integrity in his
My name is Matthijs van der Moolen and I am a PhD-student in the Neuro-microphysiological Systems Group of Dr. Paolo Cesare. I invite you to watch this short-but-sweet impression of what a typical day of research looks like for an ESR in the BonePain II network. (Clearly a lot of fun!) I am working on establishing
Significant strides have been made in the development of in vitro systems for disease modelling. However, the requirement of spatially defined microenvironment control limits the generation of relevant models. To address these limitations Lydia Moll from Cellectricon AB and the Karolinska Institute in Sweden have collaborated with the company Fluicell AB. They have published their
Stefania Kalogera and Khaled Mohamed conduct their research projects at Nordic Bioscience in Denmark. On 7 October 2020 they gave a virtual tour of Nordic Bioscience to their fellow PhD students in the network. Nordic Bioscience is a world-leading biomarker (extracellular matrix) specialist, which offers customized development of highly disease-specific biochemical markers for diagnosis and
