Dr. Linnstaedt enjoyed meeting with other pain scientists and SLE researchers to discuss the biology of pain and discuss future avenues of discovery that better elucidate mechanisms of chronic pain in SLE sufferers. This conference was well attended by pain scientists, experts in autoimmunity, neuroscientists, and patients with SLE.
