معرفی
Inge Timmers is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Medical and Clinical Psychology at Tilburg University, Netherlands, and a Visiting Professor at Ghent University’s Rehabilitation Sciences department. Her research focuses on neuroimaging and experimental psychology to probe psychosocial mechanisms in chronic health conditions, particularly pain. She previously worked at Maastricht University and Stanford University’s Biobehavioral Pediatric Pain lab.
Her academic training includes roles at leading institutions, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches. Key research areas include neural correlates of pain, parent-child dynamics in pain contexts, stress-pain interactions, and brain plasticity post-treatment. She employs methods like fMRI, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and meta-analyses.
Recent studies explore white matter microstructure in youth with chronic pain, stress-pain interplay in musculoskeletal pain (via the STRAIN project), and virtual reality applications in pain treatment. Though no awards are explicitly listed, her work demonstrates significant contributions to pain neuroscience.
Her teaching includes courses on Pediatrics, Medical Psychology, and Personality Disorders. Collaborative projects and lab affiliations highlight her role in advancing translational research linking neuroscience to clinical practice.
