Research Assistant and PhD.
Christina graduated in Veterinary Medicine from Copenhagen University, Faculty of Life Sciences in 1993. Her PhD thesis from Aalborg University 2009 was entitled: “A Novel Multimodal Model to Evoke and Modulate Human Experimental Rectosigmoid Pain - Psychophysical and Neurophysiological Studies”.
Predominant research areas are within basic human research, with major emphasis on development and validation of different methods, before they are used in clinical - or pharmacological testing. She is the coordinator of the multi-centric EU-funded study DIAMARK. Christina has a special interest in descending inhibition and conditioning modulation. Hence, techniques such as evoked spinal- and brain potentials, dipolar source modelling and diffusion tension imaging are used to investigate the ascending and descending tracts of the gut-brain-axis.
