Biography

Stephanie Smith is a researcher within the Pain Centre Versus Arthritis at the University of Nottingham, studying pain management in osteoarthritis knee pain. Stephanie completed a BSc and MRes in Sports and Exercise Science at Nottingham Trent University, followed by a PhD at Glasgow Caledonian University exploring neuromuscular control in knee osteoarthritis. Stephanie then continued working as a post-doc researcher at Glasgow Caledonian University investigating the biomechanics of knee osteoarthritis before joining the University of Nottingham. Her interests lie in bridging the gap between basic science and clinical applications which a particular focus on neuromuscular control, muscle function and pain in osteoarthritis, rheumatic diseases and musculoskeletal conditions. She has also published in phenotyping and ultrasound in osteoarthritis.
