Natalia Egorova-Brumley is an Associate Professor at the Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences. She completed her PhD in cognitive neuroscience at the University of Cambridge, and received postdoctoral training in pain neuroimaging at the Massachusetts General Hospital / Harvard Medical School. After moving to Australia, she worked at the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health before starting her own Pain and Cognition Neuroimaging Lab at the University of Melbourne as an ARC DECRA Fellow.
She combines cognitive and clinical neuroimaging lines of research to understand how pain impacts the brain and how cognition alters pain processing. She is currently a Dame Kate Campbell Fellow and an ARC Future Fellow investigating the neurobiological mechanisms of the interaction between pain and sleep.
