Collaborators
Robert Edwards, PhD
Dr. Edwards is a licensed clinical psychologist in the Pain Management Center at Brigham & Women’s Hospital / Harvard Medical School. He attended the University of Alabama at Birmingham, completing a Ph.D. in Medical Psychology and a Master’s in Public Health. He then completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Pain Psychology at Johns Hopkins, before joining the faculty in Psychiatry there. He moved to Brigham & Women’s Hospital in 2008. Hisresearch focuses on biobehavioral aspects of acute and chronic pain. Specifically, he studies individual differences in pain responses, and the neurobiological mechanisms by which psychosocial processes shape those individual differences. Some of his current NIH-funded work focuses on the impact of pain-related catastrophizing on neuroendocrine and inflammatory responses to pain, as well as individual differences in central nervous system pain processing, and their implications for long-term pain-related outcomes. He is involved in several studies that use functional neuroimaging techniques to assess the neurobiology of pain-related thoughts and emotions.
Igor Elman, MD
Dr. Elman is an Associate Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He was trained at the National Institute of Mental Health and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry with a subspecialty certification in Addiction Psychiatry. Dr. Elman's research is focused on the role of reward and motivational systems in the pathophysiology of severe neuropsychiatric disorders, including addictions, schizophrenia and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Christopher Gilligan, MD
Dr. Gilligan is a clinician researcher in the Department of Anesthesia at Boston Children’s Hospital, and is the Medical Director for the MGH Center for Pain Medicine. He obtained his MD from the Yale University School of Medicine, completed his residency at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and his fellowship at Massachusetts General Hospital. His research focuses on clinical trials of new interventions, devices and medications for the treatment of pain.
