His research is directed towards unlocking the mysteries of chronic pain, and how to better treat it. By understanding the cellular and molecular causes of chronic pain, his goal is to develop better pain therapies and to improve the safety of opioid drugs. Dr. Trang has received Young Investigator Awards from CIHR, the Canadian Association for Neuroscience, and Canadian Society for Pharmacology and Therapeutics.

A B S T R AC T Opioid analgesics are an essential class of drugs for treating pain. The increasing use of opioids is concerning and has contributed to a striking rise in opioid related deaths. Adverse opioid side effects are increasingly linked to activity of microglia, which are immune cells that reside in the central nervous system. This presentation will focus on the interplay between microglia and opioids, as well as the emerging sexual dimorphic role of microglia in chronic pain. We are beginning to unlocked pieces of the cellular puzzle that will allow us to better understand the inner workings of microglia. O B J E C T I V E S 1. Understand the importance of microglia in chronic pain 2. Define how sex differences contribute to chronic pain 3. Learn how opioids modulate microglia activity and its implications for use of opioid medications. /sent on behalf of Tabrez Siddiqui Chair, MNN Visiting Speaker/Seminar Series Email: Tabrez.siddiqui(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Tabrez.siddiqui@umanitoba.ca> Kelly Jorundson Manitoba Neuroscience Network Email: kjorund(a)sbrc.ca<mailto:kjorund@sbrc.ca> Tel: 204.235.3939 Fax: 204.237.4092 St. Boniface Hospital Albrechtsen Research Centre Room R4046 - 351 Taché Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R2H 2A6 CANADA ****************************************** [cid:image003.jpg@01D159B3.9F0B9710]<http://www.manitobaneuroscience.ca/> [cid:image007.png@01D29326.7E26D480]<https://www.facebook.com/manitobaneuroscience/?fref=ts> [cid:image009.jpg@01D29326.7E26D480] <https://www.instagram.com/manitobaneuroscience/> [cid:image010.png@01D29326.7E26D480] <https://twitter.com/manitobaneuro>
