Argye Elizabeth Hillis MD, MA
Professor of Neurology, Executive Vice Chair, Department of Neurology; Director, Cerebrovascular Division, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MarylandDr. Argye Elizabeth Hillis is a Professor of Neurology, with joint faculty appointments in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and in Cognitive Science at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. Dr. Hillis serves as the Executive Vice Chair of the Department of Neurology and Director of the Cerebrovascular Division of Neurology.
Prior to medical training and neurology residency, Dr. Hillis trained in the fields of speech–language pathology and cognitive neuropsychology, spent a decade in rehabilitation of aphasia, and conducted clinical research focusing on understanding and treating aphasia. Her current research combines longitudinal task-related and task-free functional imaging and structural imaging from the acute stage of stroke through the first year of recovery, with detailed cognitive and language assessments to improve our understanding of how language and other cognitive functions recover after stroke. Her other avenue of research involves developing novel treatment strategies for aphasia. She currently serves on the Board of Directors of the World Stroke Organization, and she has served on the Board of Directors of the American Neurological Association. She is the Editor-in-Chief of Stroke.
