Simon Beggs, PhD is an Associate Professor at UCL Great Ormond Street Hospital Institute of Child Health and pre-clinical lead in the UCL Paediatric Pain Research Group. His research interests lie in the long-term consequences of pain in early life and how it influences future pain responses. He has a wider interest in how the cellular and molecular components of the nervous and immune systems interact to drive chronic pain conditions.

Claudia Campbell, PhD is an Associate Professor in Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and Director of the Psychophysical Pain Testing Program at Johns Hopkins University. She has a broad and integrated line of research investigating the mechanisms underpinning individual differences, psychosocial, and behavioral factors influencing pain sensitivity and clinical pain. Dr. Campbell's interests include how psychosocial/behavioral factors, that are common among people suffering from chronic pain (e.g., depression, catastrophizing, and sleep disturbance), confer heightened risk for the development and maintenance of persistent pain and influence pain-related outcomes and treatment response.

G. Allen Finley, MD, FRCPC, FAAP is a pediatric anesthesiologist who has worked for 30 years in pain research and management. He is Professor of Anesthesia, Pain Management, & Perioperative Medicine at Dalhousie University, and is cross-appointed as Professor of Psychology & Neuroscience. He also holds the inaugural Dr. Stewart Wenning Chair in Pediatric Pain Management at the IWK Health Centre in Halifax and is Director of the Centre for Pediatric Pain Research. He has published over 140 papers in peer-reviewed journals and has lectured widely, with more than 300 invited presentations on six continents. He started the PEDIATRIC-PAIN e-mail discussion list in 1993, bringing together pain researchers and clinicians from over 40 countries. His own research and educational projects have taken him to Jordan, Thailand, China, Brazil, and elsewhere, with a primary focus on pain service development and advocacy for improved pain care for children around the world. To facilitate that, he is co-founder and Board Chair of the ChildKind International Initiative (http://childkindinternational.org). From 2016-2020 he served as Treasurer on the Executive Board of the International Association for the Study of Pain, an exciting opportunity to be part of the promotion of pain science and pain care around the world. His current research work includes collaborations with colleagues at Dalhousie, U. of Ottawa, and elsewhere, including as co-PI of the CIHR SPOR Chronic Pain Network and SKIP (Solutions for Kids in Pain – kidsinpain.ca) Hub Lead for Atlantic Canada.

Heike Rittner is a clinician scientist and a professor at the Center of Interdisciplinary Pain Medicine at Department of Anesthesiology of the University Hospital of Würzburg. She obtained her medical degree from the Universities of Vienna, Austria, and Würzburg, Germany. After a postdoc at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, she completed her residency at the Charité, Berlin, and was board-certified in Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine. In 2008 she started to build up the pain clinic in Würzburg and now heads the Center of Interdisciplinary Pain Medicine at the University of Wuerzburg with an acute pain service as well as special programs for ambulatory, outpatient, and in-patient pain treatment. In parallel to her clinical work, she pursued her scientific career in understanding inflammatory and neuropathic pain generation and resolution in the peripheral nervous system. She employs advanced preclinical rodent models, and state-of-the-art animal behavioral portfolios, patients’ biomaterials analysis, as well as in vitro cellular systems for barriers and neuronal structures to decipher these pathways. Currently, she is the scientific coordinator of the German Research Foundation-funded Clinical Research Group KFO5001 “ResolvePAIN” as well as several healthcare studies.

Irit Weissman-Fogel, BPT, PhD, is a neuroscientist and an Associate Professor at the University of Haifa, Israel. Her particular interest is brain mechanisms that subserve and regulate pain in the healthy state, as well as in pain chronification, chronic pain, and treatments aimed at pain alleviation. She uses a multifaceted approach to study these pain mechanisms by applying brain imaging, electrophysiological and non-invasive brain stimulation technologies, pain laboratory and autonomic measures, and self-report questionnaires. She also studies the role of individual differences in brain morphology and neurophysiology in predicting the success of clinical treatment.

David Yarnitsky, MD is the founding and current Editor-in-Chief of
PAIN Reports. He serves as Chair of Neurology at Rambam Health Care Campus, and Professor and head of the Clinical Neurophysiology laboratory at Technion Faculty of Medicine, Haifa, Israel. His research interest is understanding how the nervous system processes pain, using mainly psychophysical and neurophysiological tools. Prof. Yarnitsky's lab explores the modulation of pain via ascending and descending pathways, in healthy subjects and pain patients, in a variety of clinical syndromes, and how it can be used to improve pain alleviation.
