Dr. Bai Chuang Shyu is a principle investigator at the Institute of Biomedical Sciences, Academia Sinica, Taiwan. He served as the chairman of the Asian Pain Symposium, which was held in Taipei in 2017. His research focuses on the neuronal mechanisms underlying the central post stroke and information transmission in thalamocingulate circuitry in vitro. He has published more than 40 research articles in these fields.Dr. Makoto Tominaga is a professor at the National Institutes of Physiological Sciences and National Institutes of Natural Sciences, Japan, where he leads the cell signaling division. His research focuses on regulation and function of TRP channels. Prof. Tominaga has published more than 200 articles in this field.
