She was a Research Associate in the Depar tment of Neurobiology and Behavior at the State University of Stony Brook before starting her own laboratory at Helen Hayes Hospital and Columbia Un iversity in 1991. In 2007\, she moved her laboratory to the Nathan Kline I nstitute\, and her primary appointment was moved to New York University Gr ossman School of Medicine\, where she is Professor of Child & Adolescent P sychiatry\, Psychiatry\, and Physiology & Neuroscience.\n\nDr. Scharfman’s primary research interests include the mechanisms underlying neuronal exc itability and neuronal plasticity\, neuroendocrinology\, and neurogenesis. The emphasis of the laboratory is to understand the basic mechanisms of n ormal function in order to better address dysfunction — i.e.\, in neurolog ical disorders and psychiatric illness. An area of long-standing interest has been the hippocampus and adjacent brain regions\, so there has been an emphasis on learning disorders\, as well as epilepsy.\n\nDr. Scharfman ha s contributed broadly in basic and translational neuroscience. She has ser ved on numerous advisory boards for national and international organizatio ns\, such as the American Epilepsy Society\, the Epilepsy Foundation\, Cit izens United for Research on Epilepsy\, and Parents Against Childhood Epil epsy. She has also served as a reviewer for NIH\, NSF\, and many internati onal funding organizations. She has been continuously R01-funded by NIH si nce starting her laboratory. She has served on the editorial boards of Epi lepsia and Epilepsy Research\, and is currently on the editorial boards of Epilepsy and Behavior\, Open Access Endocrinology\, Frontiers in Neurosci ence – Neurogenesis\, Brain Structure & Function\, and Epilepsy Research & Treatment\, and reviews ad hoc for over 40 neuroscience journals. She was named the NYS Department of Health Employee of the Year in 2006 for estab lishing a research center at Helen Hayes Hospital to promote translational research. She has published over 100 articles and edited or co-edited 5 b ooks.\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:/neuro/channels/event/killam-seminar-series-helen- scharfman-372041 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
