She was a Research Associate in the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior at the State University of Stony B rook before starting her own laboratory at Helen Hayes Hospital and Columb ia University in 1991. In 2007\, she moved her laboratory to the Nathan Kl ine Institute\, and her primary appointment was moved to New York Universi ty Grossman School of Medicine\, where she is Professor of Child & Adolesc ent Psychiatry\, Psychiatry\, and Physiology & Neuroscience.\n\nDr. Scharf man’s primary research interests include the mechanisms underlying neurona l excitability and neuronal plasticity\, neuroendocrinology\, and neurogen esis. The emphasis of the laboratory is to understand the basic mechanisms of normal function in order to better address dysfunction — i.e.\, in neu rological disorders and psychiatric illness. An area of long-standing inte rest has been the hippocampus and adjacent brain regions\, so there has be en an emphasis on learning disorders\, as well as epilepsy.\n\nDr. Scharfm an has contributed broadly in basic and translational neuroscience. She ha s served on numerous advisory boards for national and international organi zations\, such as the American Epilepsy Society\, the Epilepsy Foundation\ , Citizens United for Research on Epilepsy\, and Parents Against Childhood Epilepsy. She has also served as a reviewer for NIH\, NSF\, and many inte rnational funding organizations. She has been continuously R01-funded by N IH since starting her laboratory. She has served on the editorial boards o f Epilepsia and Epilepsy Research\, and is currently on the editorial boar ds of Epilepsy and Behavior\, Open Access Endocrinology\, Frontiers in Neu roscience – Neurogenesis\, Brain Structure & Function\, and Epilepsy Resea rch & Treatment\, and reviews ad hoc for over 40 neuroscience journals. Sh e was named the NYS Department of Health Employee of the Year in 2006 for establishing a research center at Helen Hayes Hospital to promote translat ional research. She has published over 100 articles and edited or co-edite d 5 books.\n DTSTART:20260602T200000Z DTEND:20260602T210000Z LOCATION:de Grandpre Communications Centre\, The Neuro\, Montreal Neurologi cal Institute\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 2B4\, 3801 rue University SUMMARY:Killam Seminar Series: Helen Scharfman URL:/channels/channels/event/killam-seminar-series-hel en-scharfman-372041 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
