Christine Barry is a Senior Lecturer in Anatomy, coordinator of 2nd year of the Doctor of Medicine and anatomy topics in the Bachelor of Medical Sciences, and head of the Musculoskeletal Neurobiology Laboratory. She completed her PhD at the University of Adelaide in 2011 investigating brain injury, inflammation and intracranial pressure following subarachnoid haemorrhage. She has 20 years experience as a clinical physiotherapist including 10 as a Titled Member of Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Australia.
