Welcome Dr. Dmitry Scherbakov
We are excited to welcome Dr. Dmitry Scherbakov to our lab!
Dmitry’s role in the Integrative Pain Laboratory (iPainlab) will be to conduct machine learning analysis of texts and numerical data coming from social media of chronic pain patients, surveys and digital platforms. The resulting data models will be used to improve existing diagnostic tools available to doctors. He will also work on the creation of therapeutic chat-bot which will help patients assess and treat their pain.
Dmitry has completed his PhD in Media Studies at Russian State University for the Humanities. In his PhD work he applied traditional and computer based methods to analysis of texts. He was able to show that media reputation of the left-wing writer N.G. Chernyshevsky is cyclic in nature as manifested in different types of media from old journals to internet discussion boards.
Welcome Dr. Jasmin Kroll
We are excited to welcome Dr. Jasmin Kroll who just joined the lab. Her previous clinical and research experience has been on the association between cognitive functioning and mental health. Jasmin’s work aimed to identify neonatal and neurocognitive biomarkers for psychiatric outcomes.
She was also involved in a prospective study of children born preterm, utilising neuroimaging, neuropsychology and clinical assessments to identify typical and atypical. This project also entailed a cognitive intervention to see if we can improve working memory and whether this can have a wider impact on social and emotional factors. Jasmin is also involved in teaching on the MSc Applied Neuroscience and Mental Health programme at King’s College, University of London.
Collaboration with TrainPain
We are excited to start a collaboration with TrainPain. Together we are testing the impact of sensory training on the wellbeing of women who suffer from fibromyalgia
