Biography

Inge Timmers is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medical and Clinical Psychology at Tilburg University and a Visiting Professor in the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences at Ghent University. Previously, she worked in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at Maastricht University. Timmers is affiliated with the Biobehavioral Pediatric Pain lab at Stanford University. Her research focuses on understanding chronic health conditions, particularly the psychosocial mechanisms that contribute to chronic pain. Timmers employs experimental psychology and neuroimaging tools to investigate how individuals experience chronic pain and the various factors that influence treatments designed to improve the quality of life for those living with pain. She aims to explore behaviors in youth and adults facing chronic pain, with an emphasis on how traits, expectations, and stress affect approach-avoidance behavior. Key research interests include the mechanisms underlying pain-related learning, the psychological impacts of parental distress on a child’s functional well-being, and the flexibility of behavior in pain contexts.
