Miami, Florida

Dr. Felix is a Research Associate Professor in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, and a Research Health Scientist at the Miami Veterans Affairs Medical Center. She has over 20 years of experience in psychophysical techniques used to study somatosensory function (i.e., quantitative sensory testing) in both healthy populations and in chronic pain patients. Her primary research expertise is in the multidimensional measurement of clinical neuropathic pain, and her work is aimed at understanding the contributions of both somatosensory dysfunction and psychosocial risk-factors associated with the development and severity of chronic pain conditions. Dr. Felix is the Project Director of the South Florida Spinal Cord Injury Model System Center, funded through the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research. Her current funded studies focus on chronic neuropathic pain associated with traumatic spinal cord injury and on neuropathic-like ocular pain conditions.
