Biography

Katie Warnaby is a Senior Research Scientist at the Wellcome Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging within the Nuffield Division of Anaesthetics at the University of Oxford. Her research interests encompass anaesthesia, pain, and sleep, with a focus on understanding the neural correlates of consciousness during altered states induced by anaesthesia. She leads a research program utilizing multimodal neuroimaging techniques to identify objective neurophysiological markers of conscious perception loss in anaesthesia. Warnaby's notable work includes the identification of slow wave activity saturation (SWAS) as a significant marker for changes in sensory processing during anaesthesia. Her current research aims to develop a real-time Bayesian prediction model for anaesthesia titration, enhancing clinical translation of her findings. Additionally, Warnaby serves as the principal investigator for the Oxford Persisting Post-Operative Pain Study (OxPPOPS), a major clinical trial investigating predictive factors for chronic pain development post-surgery, focusing on various factors that influence patient outcomes.
