Children's University with the KFO 5001

Pain, go away! – Why does it hurt? Dr. Ann-Kristin Reinhold, MD, anesthesiologist, pain researcher, and physician scientist at the Clinical Research Unit 5001, explained to children why pain is important and how it’s perceived.

As part of the "Children's University" program at the University Würzburg, approximately 600 young aspiring students gathered on Saturday, April 29th, 2023, in the university's main auditorium. A lively and interactive discussion about why we experience pain, how it arises and what can be done about it took place. Children from 6 to 13 years old listened attentively to the speaker's explanations of ways to eliminate pain, which was impressively demonstrated with a "magic paste" on a brave volunteer.

Following that, Dr. Reinhold, MD, answered the diverse questions from the curious attendees, and finally said goodbye to a group of enthusiastic young pain experts.

Dr. Ann-Kristin Reinhold, MD, works in the Z-Project of the KFO 5001 ResolvePAIN, conducting biosample analyses, and was recently awarded the prestigious DGAI grant from the Fresenius Foundation for her research.
