At Boston University School of Medicine, Dr. Marlene Oscar Berman holds the academic ranks of Professor of Neurology (Neuropsychology), and Professor of Psychiatry. In addition, she is the Director of the Laboratory of Neuropsychology, and Director of the Behavioral Neuroscience Ph.D. Program, involved in training graduate students and medical students throughout the Boston University Community. The Ph.D. Program is coordinated with Clark University’s Psychology Department (where Dr. Berman is Affiliate Professor of Psychology) and the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VA) in Boston. At the VA, Dr. Berman is a Research Scientist working on the neuropsychological sequelae of brain damage. Since the early 1970s, her research has been supported by grants from the Medical Research Service of the VA, and from the US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). The grants she has received have included three Research Scientist Awards from DHHS (the most recent one in 1996), and a Clinical Investigator Award from the VA. In addition, in 1995, Dr. Berman was honored with the prestigious MERIT Award from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, which permits her research to be funded uninterruptedly until 2005. Dr. Berman is an author of more than 100 publications on diverse topics, e.g., the behavioral consequences of brain lesions in nonhuman animals; brain laterality in healthy people and in brain damaged patients; the effects of alcoholism on cognitive and emotional functioning; the clinical effects of various treatments on neurological patients; and ethical issues in work with human research participants.
Dr. Berman has been on the National Lectureship Circuit of the Scientific Honor Society, Sigma Xi, and a Fulbright Senior Scholar in Australia. She has served on numerous committees of the American Psychological Association, the Fulbright Foundation, the Massachusetts Psychological Association, the New England Psychological Association, and the Massachusetts Neuropsychological Society. Dr. Berman has been a member and Chairperson of Initial Review Groups for DHHS, and a Program Specialist in Alcohol and Drug Dependence for the VA nationally.
