Contributors

  • Angelika Lampert, MD

    Angelika Lampert, MD, is a full professor in the Institute of Physiology (Neurophysiology) at the RWTH Aachen University, Germany. She is the coordinator of the Sodium Channel Network Aachen (SCNAachen) focusing on inherited neuropathic pain syndromes such as small fiber neuropathy linked to sodium channel mutations. Her research concentrates on the translation of laboratory findings to potential clinical treatment, either as a population therapy or personalized medicine. The Lampert lab has two main focuses:  1) biophysics and structure-function relation of voltage-gated sodium channels and their mutations linked to pain, and 2) induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and their differentiation into peripheral sensory neurons as a model for human neuropathies in the dish. Dr. Lampert studied human medicine in Jena, Germany, and Strasbourg, France, and completed her MD thesis at the Max-Plank working group Molecular and Cellular Biophysics in Jena in 2003. Following postdoctoral training with Dr. Stephen G. Waxman at Yale University in New Haven, CT, Dr. Lampert set up her lab in Erlangen, Germany, before moving to Aachen in 2013. Dr. Lampert is the recipient of awards and grants from the German Research Foundation (DFG), the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the German Association of the Study of Pain (DGSS).

  • Matt Kmiecik, PhD

    Matt Kmiecik, PhD, is a postdoctoral research fellow at NorthShore University Health System in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Evanston Hospital, Illinois, US) and clinician researcher at The University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine. Under the mentorship of Drs. Kevin Hellman and Frank Tu, his work focuses on multimodal hypersensitivity and its contributions to chronic pelvic pain development in at-risk women with dysmenorrhea. He completed his doctoral training in Cognition and Neuroscience at The University of Texas at Dallas under Daniel C. Krawczyk, PhD, studying traumatic brain injuries and human reasoning. His undergraduate training in Psychology was completed at Loyola University Chicago where he continues to teach undergraduate courses in cognitive neuroscience.

  • Esther Eberhardt, MD

    Esther Eberhardt, MD, is an Assistant Physician of Anesthesiology at the RWTH Aachen University, Germany. Aside from her clinical education, she graduated with a degree in Molecular Medicine and started her career as a Research Associate at the University of Erlangen, Germany. Under the mentorship of Angelika Lampert, MD, and Beate Winner, MD, she completed her MD thesis on the characterization of voltage-gated sodium channels in induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell-derived peripheral sensory neurons. In addition to her specialist training in Anesthesiology, she continued to work on her interest in the pathophysiology of neuropathic pain using human cellular systems such as iPS-cells.

  • Gith Noes-Holt, PhD Student

    Gith Noes-Holt, is a PhD student in the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. Her bachelor's, master's and PhD-studies have evolved around the preclinical development and testing of a gene therapeutic treatment for chronic pain, in particular neuropathic pain.
