Curriculum Vitae
Michèle Hubli completed her PhD at the Spinal Cord Injury Center at Balgrist University Hospital and ETH Zurich (Human Movement Sciences) in 2011. This EU-funded project led by Prof. Volker Dietz and Prof. Martin Schwab focused on the plasticity of human spinal locomotor circuitry using several neurophysiological techniques in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) and stroke.
In 2012, Michèle Hubli moved to Vancouver and joined the International Collaboration on Repair Discoveries (ICORD) at University of British Columbia, Canada. During her time as a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Prof. Andrei Krassioukov she was involved in several projects regarding autonomic nervous system in SCI, e.g., cardiovascular and sudomotor dysfunction, as well as autonomic dysreflexia.
After her postdoc in Canada, Michèle Hubli moved back to Switzerland and gathered industry experience in the MedTech field working as a Medical Advisor / Product Manager. In June 2016, she became a research group leader at the Spinal Cord Injury Center at Balgrist University Hospital where she is the Head of Research since 2025. She has a special interest in clinical neurophysiology and the interaction between the nociceptive and the autonomic nervous system. Her group focuses on pathomechanisms of neuropathic pain after SCI and pain phenotyping strategies using multimodal test batteries including clinical, psychophysical, neurophysiological and neuroimaging readouts.
Michèle Hubli spearheaded an international consortium of experts in electrophysiology to create guidelines for the use of electrophysiological readouts in clinical trials following spinal cord injury. She has co-authored over 90 publications and several book chapters, and serves as a reviewer for many scientific journals.
