Get to know Lynnette L. Harris, PhD
Dr. Harris' research interests involve neuropsychological sequelae of chronic medical conditions. Current projects focus heavily on perinatal HIV/AIDS, such as interplay of fatigue, sleep disturbance and neurocognition; prospective memory and executive functioning; and epidemiology and neurobehavioral factors related to treatment adherence. Other projects focus on childhood cancer, includingneurocognitive phenotypes of genetic polymorphisms in long-term survivors of brain tumor and effects of oxidative stress on neurocognition in acute lymphocytic leukemia. She also has interests in quality of life associated with chronic medical conditions.
