Dr. Schiff holds the Jerold B. Katz Professorship of Neurology and Neuroscience at Weill Cornell Medical College, where he serves as a tenured Professor of Neuroscience, Professor of Neurology, and Professor of Public Health. He co-directs the Consortium for the Advanced Study of Brain Injury (CASBI) and directs the Laboratory of Cognitive Neuromodulation, focusing on neurophysiological mechanisms of arousal and clinical studies of impaired consciousness. Affiliated as an Attending Neurologist at New York-Presbyterian-Weill Cornell Medical Center and a Senior Attending Physician at Rockefeller University Hospital, he also belongs to its Adjunct Faculty and the Program in Neuroscience at Joan and Sanford I. Weill Graduate School of Sciences.
His research bridges systems neuroscience and clinical neurology, targeting disorders of consciousness, arousal regulation, and deep brain stimulation applications. He is a Fellow of the American Neurological Association, recipient of the 2007 Society for Neuroscience Innovation Award, and 2009 Bakken Pioneer Award. His work is funded by NIH (NICHD, NINDS, NIMH, NIDDR), the Dana and McDonnell Foundations, and industry partners like IntElect Medical, Inc.
- 2007 Nature paper on deep brain stimulation in minimally conscious state
- Co-author of Diagnosis of Stupor and Coma (4th edition)
- Over 100 publications and 12 patents
Dr. Schiff's laboratory conducts translational research on brain injury recovery mechanisms, leading an international eight-center study funded by the James S. McDonnell Foundation to develop awareness assessment tools for severe brain injury patients.
