A Short Biography:

Tony L. Strickland MS, PhD, FNAN is a clinical neuropsychologist who has served on the UCLA School of Medicine faculty since 1988. He is an Associate Clinical Professor of Neurology, and Director of the Concussion Management, and Memory Disorders Clinics at the Sports Concussion Institute. Dr. Strickland earned his B.A. in Psychology (Experimental), and MS and PhD in Clinical Psychology (Behavioral Medicine)at the University of Georgia. He completed his internship at the UCLA affiliated Sepulveda VA Medical Center. Additionally, he completed a postdoctoral research fellowship in clinical psychopharmacology at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center; and a postdoctoral fellowship in clinical neuropsychology at the Neuropsychiatric Institute, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. His research interests seek to better characterize sports-induced concussion, other traumatic brain injury, dementia, and related neurobehavioral disorders across the life span. He is a member of the Pop Warner Medical Advisory Board. Dr. Strickland utilizes multi-project investigations that employ brain imaging, neuropsychological, telehealth, and other neurobehavioral assessments to pursue two overarching research themes: (1) the understanding of potential differential expression of neurobehavioral disorders among underserved populations across the life span, and (2) the identification of effective assessment and diagnosis, and potentially promising treatment interventions to be explored in future clinical service and research. An underlying focus of his work is the development of a clinical research program consisting of experienced and committed professionals conducting innovative clinical neuroscience investigations that attract scientists from regional, national, and international communities.
