Ms. Nadine Aranis Seguic | Heart Rate Variability | Young Scientist Award 

Ms. Nadine Aranis Seguic | Heart Rate Variability | Massachusetts General Hospital | United States

Ms. Nadine Aranis-Seguic is a distinguished clinician-scientist and researcher specializing in Rehabilitation Sciences, with a primary focus on chronic pain modulation, mechanical ventilation in pediatric patients, and non-invasive neuromodulation techniques. She earned her Master’s degree in Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation and her Physical Therapist qualification from the Universidad del Desarrollo, Santiago, Chile, where she developed a strong academic and clinical foundation in advanced rehabilitation methodologies. Currently, she is pursuing her Ph.D. in Rehabilitation Sciences while serving as a Research Fellow at the Neuromodulation Center, Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, affiliated with Harvard Medical School, Boston, United States. Throughout her academic and professional journey, Ms. Nadine Aranis-Seguic has demonstrated exceptional expertise in research methodology, experimental design, and clinical translation, contributing significantly to understanding physiological responses in mechanically ventilated and chronic pain patients. Her professional experience includes teaching and mentoring roles as a Teaching Assistant II in the Principles and Practice of Clinical Research (PPCR) program at Harvard University, where she guides international researchers in research design, data analysis, and systematic reviews. She has also contributed to postgraduate education at Universidad del Desarrollo, Chile, teaching evidence-based approaches in pediatric and neurorehabilitation. Ms. Aranis-Seguic’s research interests encompass autonomic regulation, heart rate variability (HRV), pain perception, neuroplasticity, and brain stimulation in rehabilitation contexts. Her research skills include systematic review methodology, data analytics, biostatistics, HRV signal processing, and clinical trial coordination. Recognized for her interdisciplinary collaborations, she has been part of several international research projects published in Scopus and IEEE-indexed journals, including Biomedicines, Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, and NeuroSci, reflecting her growing influence in the scientific community.
