Dr. Katherine Gifford is an Adjoint Associate Professor in the Department of Neurology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. She obtained her bachelor’s degree in psychology at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY and her doctoral degree in clinical psychology from the Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne, FL. She completed her pre-doctoral internship in neuropsychology at the Henry Ford Health System in Detroit, MI. Her postdoctoral fellowship in neuropsychology was completed at Boston University and at Vanderbilt University.

Dr. Gifford’s research focuses on disorders of aging, dementia, and developing tools for early detection of cognitive impairment. Her research incudes a specific emphasis on understanding subjective cognitive decline in older adults, or when people start to notice changes in their own memory and thinking. She is involved in independent and collaborative research projects within the Vanderbilt Memory & Alzheimer’s Center. Dr. Gifford’s work is currently supported by multiple grants from the NIH with past funding from the Alzheimer’s Association and National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center.
