The Microbiome & Chronic Pain | A GIN Webinar

Chronic pain is one of the most common – and costly – health conditions in Australia. It affects people of all ages, but especially teenagers and young adults, and without the right support it can last a lifetime.

In this free public webinar, Professor Richelle Mychasiuk, neuroscientist at the University of Sydney and co-lead of the GIN Discovery Program, will share the latest insights into how the gut, brain, and microbiome are linked to chronic pain.

You’ll learn about:

• The prevalence and impact of chronic pain in Australia

• The brain–gut axis: how your gut and brain constantly communicate

• What drives chronic pain and why it persists

• The role of the microbiome in pain and headaches

• The future of therapies, including personalised medicine

This webinar is designed for everyone! Whether you live with chronic pain, know someone who does, or are simply curious about how the gut and brain are connected. No scientific background is needed.

🧠 Why attend?

• Hear directly from an internationally recognised expert in chronic pain research

• Gain practical knowledge about an emerging area of science

• Discover how advances in neuroscience and microbiome research could shape future treatments

Join us for this accessible and engaging session that will help make sense of a complex condition, and offer hope for new ways forward.
