In her talk, Prof. Calvo shared new insights into the mechanisms underlying small fiber neuropathy, highlighting translational approaches that connect experimental research with patient care.
Prof. Calvo’s visit spanned Monday and Tuesday, during which she engaged in scientific discussions with the ResolvePAIN team, fostering interdisciplinary exchange and collaboration.
Prof. Calvo is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Biological Sciences and the Medical School of the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile and a dedicated pain physician. She received her PhD in Neuroscience from King’s College London, where she trained extensively in mechanisms of neuropathic pain. Her research focuses on understanding the complexities of neuropathic pain through diverse experimental models, ranging from transgenic mice to human psychophysical studies.
An active member of the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP), Prof. Calvo serves as a Councillor and is also Secretary of the Neuropathic Pain Special Interest Group (NeuPSIG). Her visit reflects the ongoing commitment of the ResolvePAIN Clinical Research Unit to advance translational pain research through international partnerships and knowledge sharing.
