Andrea Schneider received her MD in 2014 from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and received her PhD in Epidemiology from the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health in 2012. Dr. Schneider completed her Neurology Residency and Neurocritical Care Fellowship at Johns Hopkins Hospital in 2020. She is currently an Assistant Professor of Neurology in the Division of Neurocritical Care with a secondary appointment in the Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Informatics at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. Dr. Schneider has studied associations between clinical and subclinical vascular risk factors with cognitive outcomes. She also developed an interest in the impact of traumatic brain injury (TBI) on neurocognitive outcomes. As a neuroepidemiologist, she has authored over 100 peer-reviewed publications using data from several large epidemiologic cohorts, including the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study, the National Health and Examination Survey (NHANES), and the Transforming Research and Clinical Knowledge in Traumatic Brain Injury (TRACK-TBI) Study. She is PI in an NINDS K23 grant and two Department of Defense research grants. Her research program is centered on TBI epidemiology and the prevention of TBI-related sequelae, with a focus on the prevention of neurodegeneration and dementia.
