Isabel Ellerbrock obtained her PhD at University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf, Germany, studying underlying processes of habituation/sensitization and cognitive modulation of pain using brain imaging. Interested in the potential that different magnet resonance imaging techniques hold, she collaborated on a project comparing markers for g‐ratio‐weighted imaging, signifying a method of in vivo histology in the brain. Finally, she completed post-doctoral studies on mechanisms underlying chronic pain disorders, particularly fibromyalgia, and the influence of genetic markers at the Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Karolinska Institutet, Sweden. Currently, she is employed to implement scientific working methods and support the development of tools for experimentation in the industry.
