Gina R Kuperberg, MD PhD, is a Professor in the Dept. of Psychology at Tufts University and a Psychiatrist in the Dept. of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital. She earned her MD at St. Bartholomew's Medical School, London, and her PhD in Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience at Kings College, University of London. She completed an internship at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, a residency in psychiatry at the Maudsley Hospital and Institute of Psychiatry, London, and research fellowships in neuroimaging and cognitive electrophysiology at the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, and the NeuroCognition Lab at Tufts University.

Dr. Kuperberg has a joined Lab across Tufts University, Department of Psychology and the Martinos Center for Biomedical
Imaging (Mass. General Hospital). Dr. Kuperberg's Lab focuses on the cognitive neuroscience of thought and language in psychiatric disorders (particularly schizophrenia) and in healthy individuals. She is the Principal Investigator on several studies that use multimodal imaging techniques - cognitive event-related potentials (ERPs), magneto-encephalography (MEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) - to study both the temporal and spatial dimensions of cognition in the brain.

Dr. Kuperberg has published in a wide range of journals in cognitive neuroscience (Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, Cognitive Brain Research, Psychophysiology), psychology (Journal of Abnormal Psychology, Psychological Medicine, Language and Cognitive Processes), psychiatry (Archives of General Psychiatry) and neuroimaging (Human Brain Mapping), and has also written several reviews and book chapters in her field. She is Principal Investigator on an RO1 from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), two Awards from the National Alliance for Research into Schizophrenia and Depression (NARSAD and the Sidney Baer Trust), a Claflin Distinguished Scholar Award from Harvard University and project grants from the Mental Illness and Neuroscience Discovery Institute (MIND).
