CV

Dr. Moore received her doctorate in Anatomy and Neurobiology from this department in 2000 and remained with department for her post-doctoral training. Dr. Moore is currently a co-investigator in the Laboratory of Cognitive Neurobiology with Drs. Moss, Rosene and Killiany. This laboratory investigates the effects of aging and hypertension on the structure and function of the cerebral cortex in non-human primates. Additional projects include a non-human primate model of stroke recovery.

Dr. Moore is the Associate Director of our new graduate program, a MS in Biomedical Forensic Sciences. The Biomedical Forensic Sciences program is designed to train individuals in forensic sciences with a complementary background in various biomedical disciplines and how they relate to crime scene investigation and evidence analysis.

Dr. Moore teaches in the Dental Anatomical Sciences I and II courses and currently serves on the 1st year Academic Promotions Committee at the Boston University School of Dental Medicine. She is also a member of the department of Neurology where she administers clinical neuropsychological assessments to a variety of patient populations and teaches a Neuroanatomy Review Course to the neurology residents.
