The Eating Disorder Lab
The MSPS Eating Disorder Lab
My name is Isabel Krug. I am a Senior Lecturer in Clinical Psychology at the University of Melbourne and I lead the MSPS Eating Disorder Lab. The main focus of our lab is to improve the understanding of the genetic, neurocognitive, environmental, and psychological underpinnings of EDs. To do this we focus on transdiagnostic factors that might be shared between EDs and other mental health problems (e.g. anxiety, depression, autism spectrum disorders). We implement new statistical techniques (e.g. machine learning, network analyses) to improve the classification and aetiological knowledge for EDs and other mental health problems. These techniques also help us to better assess the effectiveness of the new treatment modalities for EDs (e.g. oxytocin and telemedicine), which we are currently examining.
More recently we have started to focus on Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder (OSFED) and Unspecified Feeding and Eating Disorders (UFED), which are two broad heterogeneous provisional diagnoses in the DSM-5 entailing a mixture of various ED symptoms making up the largest proportion of ED patients. Specifically, we are interested to assess whether they meet threshold severity to be included in the DSM, who is at risk of developing them and what interventions are helpful for people suffering from these problem sets.
Overall, our research focuses on ED presentations involving a range of populations, ranging from clinical, to non-clinical, across the age ranges, genders and from numerous cultural and ethnic backgrounds. We use numerous data collection procedures, including Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA), passive data, experimental studies and online interventions. A specific strength of our research team is the integration of extensive research and clinical expertise, with the ultimate aim to improve the clinical care of patients and carers living with EDs.
Questions we try to answer on a daily basis include the following:
- How prevalent are EDs (including OSFED, UFED) in community and clinical settings? How are they representative amongst different age groups, countries, cultures and ethnicities?
- How are EDs (including OSFED and UFED) best classified? How can the DSM-5 classification system for EDs be improved?
- Are there gender differences in the presentation of EDs (including OSFED and UFED)?
- What are the biological, neurocognitive, social and environmental risk factors for EDs (including OSFED and UFED)?
- Are there transdiagnostic factors (e.g. rumination, distress tolerance, intolerance of uncertainty) that are shared with other mental health problems (e.g. depression, anxiety, autism spectrum disorders)?
- What preventative and treatment modalities are effective for EDs (including OSFED and UFED)?
- What intervention/support groups are available for ED careers and how helpful are they?

The majority of our research falls into six themes
Dr Isabel Krug
Isabel Krug is Senior Lecturer in Clinical Psychology at the University of Melbourne with a main research focus on eating disorders, body image and eating pathology. Isabel's research focuses on a range of genetic, environmental, and psychological risk factors for eating pathology. Isabel is also interested in the effectiveness of new treatment modalities for individuals with eating pathology, including mindfulness, oxytocin, TMS, virtual reality and telemedicine. More recently Isabel and her team are using Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) to assess risk factors for eating pathology, including the effects of social media, fitbits and fasting during Ramadan on body image and eating behaviours.
Sarah Giles
Sarah Giles is completing her Masters of Clinical Psychology/ PhD at the University of Melbourne. Her research interests include neurocognitive functioning in eating disorders, obesity, and the overlap between autism spectrum disorder and eating disorders. Sarah's PhD is investigating the presence of autism spectrum disorder in eating disorders, and whether these traits may help to explain why some people experiencing an eating disorder do not respond to conventional treatment.
Jade Portingale
PhD student working in the University of Melbourne’s Physical Appearance Research Team. My research focuses on using multisensory bodily illusions to understand, and potentially improve, body image disturbance. Outside of my PhD, I'm also interested in using EMA methodology to understand the effects of social media use on daily body image and eating concerns.
Recent publications:
An Binh Dang
I’m a combined master of clinical psychology and PhD student, co-supervised by A/Professor Isabel Krug and Dr Litza Kiropoulos. My research focuses on understanding the clinical usefulness of the severity ratings for eating disorders as proposed by the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Knowing the current limitations of the DSM-5 severity ratings for eating disorders, my research further expands on finding alternative transdiagnostic severity ratings for eating disorders to help guide clinical practice (e.g., risk of complications or need for hospitalisation) and policies (e.g., funding). Besides working on my PhD, I enjoy going out with friends and practising Pilates (badly!). I’m friends to all dogs.
Recent publications:
Night Eating Syndrome in Patients With Obesity and Binge Eating Disorder: A Systematic Review.
Nasim Ghahraman Moharrampour
My project focuses on the relationship between dietary restraint, disordered eating behaviours, and negative mood in daily life. The study will assess a combination of trait-based measures (e.g., dietary restraint, eating psychopathology, body dissatisfaction, and depressive symptoms), active and passive data (geolocation) and their correlation with dietary restraint, disordered eating symptoms, and negative mood using an intense measurement burst design with three-time points (baseline, and 6- and 12- months follow-up). Also, this research will evaluate the influence of dietary restraint on attentional bias towards food, body shape, and emotional recognition stimuli.
Title of thesis: Eye-tracking and Ecological Momentary Assessment in people with Dietary Restraint behaviours using a novel measurement burst design comprising passive and active data
Wenn Lynn Ooi
I’m setting up a new study, called the My Meals + Microbes Study, that aims to characterise the gut and oral microbiome in people with different eating behaviours. It also aims to investigate how the gut and oral microbiome is associated with other aspects of a person’s general well-being such as mental health, gastrointestinal health, diet, and physiological parameters (such as metabolism).
Anastasia Pourliakas
Anastasia is a PhD candidate under the supervision of Dr. Litza Kiropoulos and A/Prof Isabel Krug. Focussing on death anxiety in Eating Disorder, Oncology and Multiple Sclerosis populations, her PhD aims to a) systematically review the current literature on death anxiety in the three groups, b) validate popular death anxiety measures in the three groups and c) empirically assess a new psychological model of death anxiety in the three groups.
Rebekah Davenport
Rebekah is a combined Master of Clinical Psychology and PhD candidate at The University of Melbourne. Rebekah's PhD focuses on understanding the psychological (e.g., body-image) and cognitive factors (e.g., personality, cognitive flexibility) contributing to the development and maintainence of depression, anxiety and sexual dysfunction in chronic inflammatory populations, primarily multiple sclerosis and endometriosis. These constitute highly prevalent symptoms in these populations and are associated with negative prognostic factors.
