In 2008, Marco Loggia was awarded a PhD In Neurological Sciences by McGill University in Montreal, QC (Canada). During his graduate studies, he had the opportunity to work at the Alan Edwards Centre for Research on Pain (formerly McGill Centre for Research on Pain) under the mentorship of its first director, Prof. M. Catherine Bushnell, a pioneer in the field of human pain imaging. Between 2008 and 2013, Dr. Loggia held the position of Research Fellow at Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Massachusetts General Hospital. As of 2013 Dr. Loggia became faculty at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital.
