<p><strong>Michael L. Lipton, M.D., Ph.D., F.A.C.R.</strong><br />Dr. Lipton, a neuroradiologist and neuroscientist, is Associate Director of the Gruss Magnetic Resonance Research Center at Einstein and &nbsp;Medical Director of MRI Services for Montefiore Health, both in New York. He divides his professional time between the clinical practice of neuroradiology, teaching and research. Dr. Lipton&rsquo;s research broadly addresses the use of advanced noninvasive imaging technology to reveal heretofore-inaccessible substrates of brain dysfunction, particularly in the realms of behavior and cognition. More specifically, his research program has focused for nearly a decade on detecting and characterizing the effects of mild brain injury (AKA concussion). Specific areas of emphasis at present include the understanding of inter-individual differences in the manifestations of brain injury and the cumulative effects of repetitive subconcussive injury in sports. Dr. Lipton&rsquo;s work on the impact of subconcussive &ldquo;heading&rdquo; on brain structure and function in amateur soccer players, funded by the Dana Foundation and the National Institutes of Health, has been reported extensively in the press worldwide.</p>

Clinical Focus

<p>To meet the needs clinically of our patients/caregivers, I developed and published a new model of care for the community. This model is called the Coordinated Care At Risk/Remote Elderly Program (CCARRE) and focuses on the patient/caregiver dyad. Additional funding supported the expansion of a telehealth depression treatment program for older adults which supported recruitment in our diverse, frail population. Foundation support has provided the ability to provide culturally and language competent assessments/evaluations and management of neurodegenerative diseases and cognitive impairment. Other grant funding supports the implementation of the 5cs program (Comprehensive Culturally relevant Care for Cognitively impaired and their Caregivers – a pathway to equity in health care and model for systems transformation. Current funding for BRAID in conjunction will bridge our research aims and This grant uses the MHS-pioneered BRAID model (Bridging Research, Accurate Information, and Dialogue) where researchers/providers gain a deep understanding of the needs of our diverse and vulnerable population. To aid in clinical trial enrollment/retention, this work focuses on the Age Friendly 4Ms--What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility and strengthens the collaboration between the health system and the surrounding community.
</p></p>Educational models through research: Additional national funding supported the building of a network of skilled nursing facilities and expanded my role as a leader of a Covid Action Network through Project ECHO. I developed the curriculum for interprofessional and brought the community of 99 skilled nursing facilities together with our Montefiore Health System experts to provide evidence-based Covid 19 care. In addition - I obtained funding to implement the MOLST or eMOLST into our collaborative of skilled nursing facilities to assure safe care transitions and encourage the end-of-life directives to be completed electronically.</p>

Research Focus

My overall clinical research focuses on how to address the neurodegenerative disease. The pandemic has forced a reevaluation of resources and additional funding to support a robust educational network that provides interdisciplinary CME, as well as telehealth for the older adult, which was crucial. Building a patient-caregiver evaluation center through foundation and state/national funding is crucial and has created a niche as an expert in neurodegenerative disease with a focus on under resourced, frail populations. This group is crucial to identify and recruit for future trials and our site has been identified as a patient-centered outcome center.
