Symons co-sponsors MN Futures Grant symposium

SymonsF-2005[1].jpgAssociate Professor Frank Symons (Educational Psychology) was among the 2007-08 Minnesota Futures Grant Program awardees. As part of this award, Frank co-sponsored a symposium at the beginning of January titled “Pain in Neurodevelopmental Disorders: Analgesic Failure and the Promise of Biomarkers" with Dr. Lois Kehl, D.D.S., Ph.D. (University of Minnesota, Department of Anesthesiology).

Frank's longstanding clinical interest in the assessment and treatment of severe self-injury among children and adults has led to the development of a program of translational research addressing the problem of pain in neurodevelopmental disorders. He is co-editor with Dr. Oberlander of the only book specific to pain and developmental disabilities and was recently awarded an NIH/NICHD Career Development Award (K02) to support his work.
