Biography
Dr. Levin is the Alexandria and Bernard Schoninger Professor of Neurology and Director of the Division of Neuropsychology and Clinical Neuroscience in the Department of Neurology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. She received her BS from Georgetown University and her Ph.D. from Temple University. She completed an internship at the Boston Children’s Hospital where she was a clinical fellow in Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and an externship at the Boston VA Hospital.
Dr. Levin is engaged in clinical and research activities in the field of movement disorders. Clinically, she evaluates patients with Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, Lewy Body disease, Tourette syndrome, as well as a range of other gait disorders. She supervises the team of post-doctoral fellows in the neurocognitive assessment of movement disorders and works closely with Dr. Sarno. Her research interests include the neurocognitive and emotional changes associated with neurodegenerative disease and the normative aging process. A primary focus has been the inter-relationship between behavioral and motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease and the neural circuitry underlying cognitive change. Another area of interest is frailty over the life course and how changes to vestibular and sensory function impact cognition. Dr. Levin is involved with numerous clinical trials and a member of the deep brain stimulation team.
