| Research Interests: |
Dr. Stanek Sellbom specializes in clinical health neuropsychology. Her research broadly foucses on the neuropsychological impact of major medical disorders, such as cardiovascular disease and obesity, and the mechanisms underlying associations between impaired health and cognitive dysfunction. Her most recent work examines specific cognitive correlates of chronic obesity as well as interactions between aging and adiposity on cognitive functioning. Her clinical expertise is in the neuropsychological assessment of adults and older adults.
