Jeffrey Anderson, Ph.D.

Associate Vice President of Research
Director of Technology Transfer

Over the past decade Dr. Jeffrey Anderson has successfully assisted faculty to secure a number of major interdisciplinary research grants across a wide range of topics. As an academic clinical researcher Dr. Anderson is interested in brain-language relationships among neurological patients. He received a B.A. in Psychology from Gordon College and a M.S. in Speech-Language Pathology from the MGH Institute of Health Professions. Dr. Anderson was a Research Scientist at Dr. Alfonso Carmazza's Cognitive Neuropsychology Laboratory at Dartmouth College, then received a Ph.D. in Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of Florida. His dissertation explored the use of fMRI as a tool to monitor recovery after neurological injury. Dr. Anderson then completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Radiology at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School/MIT's Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging. With his mentors he then helped to create a spinoff MRI analysis software company (CorTechs Labs) which eventually secured over $6M of NIH Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) support. As CorTechs' Vice President for Product Development he assisted the team in securing series of contracts with a major MRI OEM to create custom software for their family of MRI scanners. Dr. Anderson went on to become the Associate Director of the NanoScience Technology Center at the University of Central Florida. In this role he assisted this interdisciplinary research group of 15 faculty members to secure grant proposals across a wide range of topics such as in vitro neuronal models of brain circuits as drug screening systems. Most recently he has served as the Vice President for Strategic Development at the University of Texas at San Antonio, an emerging research university with a 75% growth rate in research funding over the past five years. Dr. Anderson attended high school in St. Petersburg Florida and enjoys mountain biking and Masters freestyle swimming.
