Subject: FW: Inaugural Lecture by Professor Andreas Goebel - Mon, 27 Nov 2023 17:30 - 20:30 GMT

Dear All,

Andreas has asked me to share this invitation with you.

Date :- Mon, 27th November

Time :- 2023 17:30 - 20:30 GMT

Venue:- University of Liverpool, Central Teaching Hub, Central Teaching Hub Off Brownlow Hill Liverpool L69 7ZD

Title of Lecture: 'The Autoimmune Etiology of Unexplained Chronic Pain'.

Andreas Goebel was born and raised in Wiesbaden/Germany, trained in Anaesthesia and Pain Medicine in Wuerzburg/Germany, and in the UK (Oxford, UCL), and studied post-trauma immunology at Harvard Medical School, Boston, US.

Appointed Consultant in Pain Medicine at the Liverpool/UK Walton Centre in 2007, the largest UK Pain Management service; University of Liverpool Senior Lecturer in Pain medicine 2008, Reader 2016; promoted to Chair of Pain Medicine 2023; Director of the University’s Pain Research Institute.

Andreas’ research has focused on the role of the adaptive immune system in causing chronic pain. He first proposed in 2005 that ‘unexplained’ chronic pains may be caused by non-destructive, non-inflammatory, ‘functional’ IgG autoantibodies and that passive transfer experimental approaches can be used to investigate this.

In this inaugural lecture, Andreas will describe his recent research results voted 2021 Guardian Top 10 Science Story, which have led to the worldwide first biologics trial in Fibromyalgia Syndrome just completed in England’s North-West.

Refreshments will be available.

@Joan Crawford,

thanks for posting this. If anyone tries to watch this video and quickly gets bored, I found it advantageous to go to about 14 minutes in and that’s when the actual talk seems to start.

The new information for me was the future activities that he intends to partake in and there was a interesting discussion of the use of plasmaphoresis and a newly developed drug that they are going to clinical trial. The drug is Rozanolixizumab, which was approved by the FDA this year for use in the United States to treat myasthenia gravis. It is interesting/coincidental that another drug that has been prescribed for myasthenia gravis is pyridostigmine…
