Dr. Natalie Matosin is an Australian scientist known for research into the impacts of the human brain in health and disease, and particularly stress and its role in mental illness. Matosin's research has been published in prestigious academic journals,[1] as well as on The Conversation.[2] Matosin spoke at TEDx Hamburg in June 2017[3] and is the 2021 Al & Val Rosenstrauss Fellow.[4] She was previously a National Health and Medical Research Council CJ Martin Early Career Research Fellow,[5] and Alexander von Humboldt Fellow.[6] In 2017, Matosin was listed as a Forbes 30 Under 30 in Europe in the category of Science & Healthcare, placing her in the top 1% of innovators worldwide.[7]

Early life and education

Matosin was interested in science and curing the world of disease from an early age and went on to study a Bachelor of Medical Science at university.[8] Matosin was awarded a PhD from the University of Wollongong with a thesis "Exploring mGluR5 dysregulation in schizophrenia: from gene to protein".[9] She went on to hold a postdoc position at UNSW.[10] [11] [12]

Career and research

Matosin works at the University of Sydney. She previously worked at the University of New South Wales, the University of Wollongong and the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry in Germany.[1] The focus of Matosin's research has been on the physical and chemical clues that remain in brain tissue following the effects of stress over a lifetime. Matosin analyses postmortem brain samples in order to compare the brains of those diagnosed with brain disorders with the brains of healthy donors.[13]

Matosin was working in Germany during the arrival of large numbers of Syrian refugees, and her research now includes study into the impact of trauma on refugee populations in the Illawarra community, examining its impact on the body's physiology at a molecular level and its relationship to mental illness.[14]
