Dr. Carey’s primary clinical interest is in the neuropsychological functioning of children and adolescents with particular interests in childhood cancer, traumatic brain injury, epilepsy, developmental disorders, and learning and attention disorders. Her primary research interests are in the long-term effects of chronic childhood illnesses, especially childhood leukemia, brain tumors and cystic fibrosis. Her research involves the use of structural brain imaging techniques, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), to study the cognitive, behavioral, and psychosocial effects of these childhood illnesses.
