Lauren Grebe joined St. John’s University in 2023 and is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders. Her research explores how lifetime experiences and exposures relate to clinical progression, specifically how lifetime experiences affect brain status and neuropsychological test performance in individuals with dementia and community-dwelling older adults. Dr. Grebe is a NY state certified speech-language pathologist and has worked across various clinical settings, working primarily with adult and geriatric populations. She is a member of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and the ISTAART Reserve, Resilience and Protective Factors Executive Committee of the Alzheimer's Association International Society to Advance Alzheimer’s Research and Treatment.
