Erica Kornblith, PhD

Core Faculty

Center for Population Brain Health

Dr. Kornblith is a licensed clinical neuropsychologist and clinical researcher with expertise in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and cognitive aging, rehabilitation research, telehealth, and clinical trials. Her research program broadly focuses on understanding the impact of traumatic brain injury and social determinants of health on cognitive aging; characterizing cognitive and functional impairment in older adults with traumatic brain injury; and leveraging telehealth technology to increase access to effective treatment for as many TBI patients as possible regardless of demographics.
