Biography
Dr. Natasha is a Postdoctoral Fellow working with Prof. Helen Nicholson and Dr. Stephanie Woodley. There are two major areas of research that she is currently pursuing. The first is based in the clinical and functional anatomy of the hip and pelvis, and in particular the pubic symphysis and its role in pelvic girdle pain during pregnancy. The ultimate aim of her research is to provide scientific, anatomical evidence for improving clinical treatments, procedures and outcomes. The other focus is in the field of anatomical education, with emphasis on the teaching and learning of anatomy to medical and non-medical students.
