Dr. Savage received his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Oklahoma State University. He completed an internship in clinical psychology and postdoctoral fellowships in neuropsychology and functional neuroimaging at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH)/Harvard Medical School. He previously served as Director of the Center for Health Behavior Neuroscience at the University of Kansas Medical Center and Director of Imaging Research at the Banner Alzheimer’s Institute. He is currently the Director of the Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior, and the Mildred Francis Thompson Professor of Social Sciences, at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He has published over 140 research papers and review articles and serves on editorial boards and numerous study sections and expert panels. Dr. Savage’s research uses functional neuroimaging techniques to investigate how the brain contributes to self-regulatory behaviors and to identify biomarkers that predict responses to interventions and progression or recovery from neurologic illness. In addition to his own research, Dr. Savage mentored numerous training grants with predoctoral postdoctoral students and junior faculty.
