Shubir Dutt, PhD

Clinical Fellow
Neurology

Shubir is currently a predoctoral clinical intern in the UCSF Clinical Psychology Training Program and is completing the final year of his PhD degree in Clinical Psychology at the University of Southern California. He previously worked with the Imaging Core, Kramer Lab, and Boxer Lab from 2011–2016 before returning to the MAC in 2022 to complete his predoctoral internship and postdoctoral fellowship in Clinical Neuropsychology with Dr. Joel Kramer. Shubir’s research leverages structural/functional neuroimaging and biofluid markers to examine cerebrovascular factors impacting cognitive aging and neurodegenerative disease, as well as the role of brainstem nuclei in preclinical detection and prevention of Alzheimer’s disease.
