Background
Dr. Andrew Budson completed his undergraduate degree in Philosophy and Chemistry at Haverford College in Pennsylvania. He graduated cum laude from Harvard Medical School in 1993, followed by internship in internal medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston. His neurology residency was at the Harvard-Longwood Program where he was Chief Resident in his senior year. After completing a fellowship in Behavioral Neurology and Dementia at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, he joined the staff there, and was promoted to Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School. He joined Boston University School of Medicine’s Department of Neurology in 2005 as an Associate Professor. Dr. Budson is board certified in neurology. His primary position is at the Edith Nourse Memorial Veterans Hospital, where he is the Director of the Geriatric Research Education Clinical Center.
Research Interests
Dr. Budson’s research focuses on understanding memory in patients with Alzheimer’s disease and other brain disorders. His recent work has explored false memories in patients with Alzheimer’s disease and in patients with frontal lobe lesions.
ADC role
Dr. Budson is the Director of Cognitive Neuroscience Research at the BU ADC.
Awards/Memberships
Dr. Budson was chosen to give the first Annual Laird Cermak Memorial Lecture, and has been invited to speak around the world, including at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, Queen Square, London.
