Research Scientist
Kessler Foundation
Dr. Dobryakova conducts clinical research in populations with cognitive dysfunction caused by traumatic brain injury and multiple sclerosis. She incorporates functional neuroimaging in her research, which focuses on the activity of the fronto-striatal network in fatigue and outcome processing in these populations. Her findings indicate that noninvasive, nonpharmacologic interventions may be useful for addressing deficits in learning processes, and in ameliorating the impact of debilitating cognitive fatigue.
Dr. Dobryakova is the author of 20 peer-reviewed articles, and chapters in the Encyclopedia of Clinical Neuropsychology and Cognition and Behavior in Multiple Sclerosis. Honors include the 2019 International Neuropsychological Society's Early Career Award, a 2016 Switzer Fellowship, funded by the National Institute on Disability Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR), a 2015 Independent Investigator Grant from the National Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society, and recognition by the New Jersey Neuropsychological Society. Her research funding includes NIDILRR, National MS Society, New Jersey Health Foundation, and the New Jersey Commission on Brain Injury Research. Dr. Dobryakova was recently elected Co-Chair Elect of the ACRM's Neurodegenerative Diseases Networking Group, serves as Communication Task Force Chair of ACRM's Early Career Networking Group, and is an active member of the communications committee for the Organization for Human Brain Mapping. She is a research assistant professor in the department of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School.
