Lowe Professor and Vice Chair of Neurology, Professor of Epidemiology and Population Health and Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Dr. Lipton earned his medical degree at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine. After a medical internship at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, he completed his neurology residency and clinical neurophysiology fellowship at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He also completed a fellowship in neuroepidemiology at Columbia University. He is a diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and a fellow of the American Academy of Neurology.</p>
<p>His research focuses on cognitive aging, Alzheimer’s disease and migraine headaches. He is the Principal Investigator of the Einstein Aging Study, an NIH funded Program Project, and collaborates on several R01s. His research focuses on risk factors and biomarkers of cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease. His recent studies examine cognitive aging across the lifespan with an emphasis on the effects of pain and stress on brain function.</p>
<p>His headache research focuses on the epidemiology of migraine and on clinical trials. His epidemiologic studies have evaluated trigger factors for headache attacks and risk factors for headache progression. Dr. Lipton has published more than 800 original articles, many with trainees. He is a 5 time winner of the H.G. Wolff Award for excellence in headache research from the American Headache Society and a two time winner of the Enrico Greppi award from the European Headache Federation. Dr. Lipton is Director of the Montefiore Headache Center, an interdisciplinary subspecialty center focused on headache, patient care, research and education.</p>
<p>Dr. Lipton holds leadership positions in several professional societies. He is a Past-President of the American Headache Society (AHS). He serves on the editorial boards of several journals, including Neurology. He has written 11 books. Dr. Lipton enjoys mentoring medical students, residents, PhD students and fellows. Over the last decade he has mentored 7 CRTP students and 10 K-award recipients. He has received both the CRTP Mentor of the Year Award and the Einstein Faculty Mentoring Award. </p>

Dr. Lipton is also director of the Einstein Aging Study, which has been examining both normal brain aging and the special challenges of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias since 1980. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 15.6pt;"><span style="font-size: 9.0pt;">A prolific researcher and writer, Dr. Lipton has published eight books and more than 600 original articles and reviews. He is a recipient of the Medical Book Award from the British Medical Association for his text<span> </span><em>Headache in Clinical Practice</em>. He is also an associate editor of<span> </span><em>Cephalalgia: An International Journal of Headache</em><span> </span>(the journal of the International Headache Society) and sits on the editorial boards of several journals, including<span> </span><em>Neurology</em>. He is a three-time recipient of the H.G. Wolff Award for excellence in research from the American Headache Society (AHS). Dr. Lipton serves on the advisory council of the International Headache Society and is a former president of the AHS. He is also professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences and of epidemiology & population health at Einstein.</span></p>
Dr. Lipton’s clinical work focuses on headache medicine, particularly chronic migraine. He is interested in integrative approaches that combine pharmacologic and behavioral treatments with neuromodulatory devices in a patient-centered fashion. The Montefiore Headache Center has a large full-time faculty and trains two fellows in headache medicine annually.
Dr. Lipton's research interests include clinical trials on headache disorders, Alzheimer's disease, and other dementias. I also conduct epidemiologic studies and develop outcome measures in both areas.<quillbot-extension-portal></quillbot-extension-portal>
