ProfessorJames Elliott

PT, PhD, FAPTA

James completed his PhD at the University of Queensland, Australia (UQ) in 2007 and a post-doctoral fellowship (2010) at UQ’s CCRE-Spine. The primary focus of his interdisciplinary laboratory is to quantify altered spinal cord anatomy and whole-body skeletal muscle degeneration as potential markers of recovery following spinal trauma. He has been successful as an independent investigator as in evidence of being a CI/PI/Collaborator/Consultant on over $30 million in research funding, more than 175 peer-reviewed publications, and numerous speaking invitations at interdisciplinary conferences on a national and international level. Accordingly, his work has resulted in external recognition as a global expert in neck pain (broadly) and whiplash injuries (more specifically).

Prof. Elliott is the Director the Kolling Institute and Academic Director Allied Health and Public Health, The University of Sydney. Prior to joining the University of Sydney in 2017, Elliott was a tenure-track Associate Professor in the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago, USA.
