Karen D. Davis
Editor-in-Chief
Toronto, Canada

Karen D. Davis (Ph.D., FCAHS, FRSC), Editor-in-Chief of PAIN, is the Canada Research Chair in Acute and Chronic Pain Research. She is a Senior Scientist and Division Head at the Krembil Brain Institute of the University Health Network and a Professor in the Department of Surgery and Institute of Medical Science at the University of Toronto. Dr. Davis has pioneered electrophysiological and brain imaging approaches to investigate mechanisms underlying pain, delineate brain plasticity associated with chronic pain, and individual factors that contribute to pain sensitivity and chronic pain treatment outcomes. Her concept of a “dynamic pain connectome” is being used to identify neuromarkers for personalized approaches to pain management. Dr. Davis is also active in neuroethics and EDI (equity, diversity, and inclusion) initiatives.

Robert Coghill
Section Editor
Cincinnati, USA

Robert Coghill earned his Ph.D. from Virginia Commonwealth University and completed post-doctoral fellowships at the Universitè de Montrèal and the National Institutes of Health. He is currently a Professor of Pediatrics and Director of the Center for Understanding Pediatric Pain at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. Research in Dr. Coghill's laboratory seeks to provide a better understanding of the functional organization of central nervous system mechanisms involved in the conscious experience of pain and its implications for clinical pain states. Imaging and measurement methodologies provide the critical tools to accomplish these investigations in both children and adults.
