I am a research assistant at Columbia University Medical Center working on two research studies in order to develop a new language test for children and older adults. Both studies are run by Dr. Marla Hamberger who is a neuropsychologist here at the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center. Dr. Hamberger completed her undergraduate studies at Cornell University, and earned her Masters and Doctorate from the City University of New York. After completing her internship in Neuropsychology in the Department of Psychiatry, Columbia University, she obtained postdoctoral training at UCLA, specializing in the neuropsychology of epilepsy.She has been with the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center at Neurological Institute of New York, Columbia University Medical Center since 1992, where she is the Director of Neuropsychological Services within the Epilepsy Division, and holds the position of Associate Professor of Clinical Neuropsychology in the Department of Neurology at Columbia University.Dr. Hamberger's research involves language and memory from childhood through late adulthood in epilepsy, and her studies on brain mapping of language and preservation of language function following epilepsy surgery have been funded by the Epilepsy Foundation of America and National the Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
