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
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.
Associate Director for Collaborative Resources
Eric Porges, Ph.D.
Dr. Eric Porges is an associate professor in the department of clinical health and psychology. His research focuses on age-related changes in cognition and the neurophysiological processes that underlie, impact and accelerate these changes.
Associate Director for Faculty Engagement and the Luttge Lecture Series
Natalie Ebner, Ph.D
Dr. Natalie Ebner is a professor of psychology and holds the Trish Calvert Ring Endowed Professorship in Psychology at the University of Florida. Her expertise in experimental behavioral aging research coupled with her background in socio-affective and cognitive neuroscience allow for a comprehensive view of brain-behavior relationships.
Assistant Director for computing and informatics
Aprinda I. Queen, Ph.D.
Dr. A.I. Queen is an assistant professor in the department of clinical and health psychology. Her long-term research goal is to develop personalized medicine within aging research using person-specific models paired with multi-modal data approaches such as behavioral intervention, neuroimaging (structural and functional). and AI methods.
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.
