Our Leaders
Douglas Scharre, MD
Director, Division of Cognitive Neurology, Medical Director, Neurobehavior and Memory Disorders Clinics
I have led the Center for Cognitive and Memory Disorders since 1993. I conduct clinical research in dementia and mild cognitive impairment: clinical drug trials using cognitive enhancers and behavioral therapies; functional neuroimaging studies using PET, SPECT and MRI; and screening for mild cognitive impairment and early dementia diagnosis. I created the Self-Administered Gerocognitive Exam (SAGE).
