CAM Center faculty Bringing together people and Ideas
Faculty at the CAM Center come from across the UF Health campus to create a diverse hub for cognitive aging and memory research.
CAM Center Leadership
CO-DIRECTOR
Sara Burke, Ph.D.
Dr. Sara Burke is a professor in the department of neuroscience. Dr. Burke’s research program focuses on understanding how different brain regions communicate with each other in support of behavior, and how cognition and memory are altered by old age.
CO-DIRECTOR
Adam J. Woods, Ph.D.
Director Adam Woods, Ph.D., is a professor of clinical health psychology and associate dean for research at UF’s College of Public Health and Health Professions. Woods’ work demonstrates that combining treatments like cognitive training with non-invasive brain stimulation (tDCS, TMS, tACS) facilitates neuroplastic response of brain tissue, improves cognitive abilities (specifically working memory, attention and speed of processing) and leads to long-term improvement.
Evelyn F. Mcknight Chair for clinical translation in cognitive aging
Ronald A. Cohen, Ph.D., ABPP
Cohen is a professor of clinical health psychology with an extensive background in neuroimaging and the neuroscience of attention-executive functions. He has a strong record of research involving the use of functional and structural neuroimaging methods in studies of age-associated brain disorders and neurodegenerative brain disorders.
Evelyn F. McKnight Chair for Research on Cognitive Aging and Memory
Tom Foster, Ph.D.
Foster’s research program utilizes a combination of behavioral characterization with biochemical, molecular and electrophysiological techniques to obtain a vertically integrated perspective on neural aging, from the molecular to the cognitive level.
