OUR MISSION

SPRINT is a multi-institutional, international effort to uncover a biological signature for pain treatment response in teens.

Our team is made up of experts in psychology, immunology, neuroimaging, and machine learning, so we can formulate and validate a comprehensive model. This information will open doors for improved prognostics and treatments for pain.
