Stefanie N. Howell, Ph.D., CBIS

Neuroscientist

Dr. Howell received her doctorate in Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience from George Mason University in Fairfax, VA. During that time, her primary area of research was pre-clinical models of neurodegenerative disease.

Since joining Centre for Neuro Skills in 2016, she now focuses on methods for facilitating recovery and maximizing outcome potential post-injury. Her responsibilities include coordinating clinical research studies, designing experiments, writing manuscripts, and preparing research grants proposals.

Dr. Howell has presented at esteemed conferences, including the American Heart Association’s International Stroke conference, National Neurotrauma Society, Society for Neuroscience, and Sleep Research Society conferences.

Her presentations have focused on sleep-wake disturbances, neuroendocrine abnormalities, and re-hospitalizations, deciphering how these impact outcome and quality of life. In addition, she has also presented for several audiences on successful methods for returning to work after brain injury.

Dr. Howell has published in and served as a reviewer for several scientific journals, including the Journal of Sleep Research, Neurorehabilitation, Journal of Neuroimmune Pharmacology, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation International, Physiology and Behavior, and the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.
