John J. Foxe

John J. Foxe is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Pediatrics (Developmental Medicine) and the Dominick P. Purpura Department of Neuroscience at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He serves as Director of Research of the Children's Evaluation and Rehabilitation Center (CERC). His research focuses on translational neuroscience, particularly in schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorders, with a strong emphasis on identifying endophenotypic markers and linking them to genetic factors. His lab employs advanced methodologies including neuroimaging, electrophysiology, and virtual reality to study sensory and cognitive functions.

Education: Ph.D. from Albert Einstein College of Medicine (alma mater).

Research Interests: Dr. Foxe’s work spans developmental neuropsychiatric disorders, auditory processing, and multisensory integration. His lab integrates structural and functional neuroimaging, EEG, and imaging genomics to explore neural mechanisms underlying perception and cognition. Key projects include studying perceptual and cognitive deficits in schizophrenia and autism, as well as the neural basis of speech processing and attention.

Publications: Over 160+ publications, with recent work focusing on EEG biomarkers for schizophrenia, multisensory speech perception in children, and the neurophysiology of biological motion processing. His studies highlight deficits in sensory processing and cortical connectivity in neuropsychiatric disorders.

Grants & Funding: Extensive NIH and NSF funding for translational research, including projects on auditory dysfunction in schizophrenia and developmental aspects of sensory integration.

Labs & Teams: Leads a multidisciplinary lab at Einstein, collaborating with institutions such as Montefiore Medical Center. The lab emphasizes both basic science and clinical studies to develop novel diagnostic tools and interventions for neurodevelopmental disorders.
