Carol Lippa

Professor
Department: Neurology
Specialty: Alzheimer's and non-Alzheimer's dementia
Education: University of Massachusetts Medical School, M.D., neurology residency, cognitive neurology fellowship

Dr. Lippa has directed the Clinical Memory Disorders Program within the Neurology department since 1996. She has 20 years' experience in the assessment and management of patients with degenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body dementias, frontotemporal dementia, and other conditions including mild cognitive impairment.

She is distinguished by the following honors and awards: Best Doctors in America, every year since 2003; Marquis Who's Who in the World, since 2002, and Marquis Who’s Who in America, since 2001. She was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society in 2002 and has been listed in multiple issues of Philadelphia Magazine's "Top Docs" section.

Lippa also directs the Dementia Neurology Research Laboratory at Drexel, investigating the question of why people develop memory loss/forgetfulness, dementia and other cognitive problems. Her basic science laboratory research addresses the clinicopathologic mechanisms underlying neuronal death in neurodegenerative diseases. Most of her work is focused on characterizing abnormal proteins in Alzheimer's disease and related types of dementia, including Pick's disease and Lewy body disease.

As neuropathologist and director of the College of Medicine's Neurology Brain, Blood and Cerebrospinal Fluid Bank, Lippa has one of the country's largest collections of brain tissue, blood and cerebrospinal fluid from patients with genetic forms of degenerative diseases. Much of her work is collaborative; she partners with biochemists, geneticists, pathologists and other physicians from within the College of Medicine at Drexel University and around the world. She has a reputation for organizing networks of individuals to work collaboratively to answer scientific questions about these diseases. The long-term goal of Lippa's work is to understand the underlying mechanisms in degenerative brain diseases and develop rational therapies to prevent these diseases or slow their progression.
