Biography 
Dr. Marcotte is Center Manager of the HIV Neurobehavioral Research Center and a Co-Director of CHARTER, a national multi-site study of the CNS impact of treatments for HIV. He received his B.A. from UCSD, Masters Degree from the University of CT, and doctorate in clinical psychology from CSPP-Los Angeles. He spent four years under the mentorship of Wilfred van Gorp, Ph.D., at UCLA/West Los Angeles VAMC and completed post-doctoral training in neuropsychology at UCSD with Robert K. Heaton, Ph.D. Dr. Marcotte is on the editorial boards of both Neuropsychology and the Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society. 

Research Focus 
Dr. Marcotte’s research focuses on the neuropsychology of HIV infection, as well as the impact that mild cognitive impairments have on everyday functioning (e.g., vocational performance, medication management). He is involved in projects examining the predictors and, ultimately, neuropathologic correlates of HIV-associated neuropsychological dysfunction. Dr. Marcotte has developed techniques (PC-based driving simulators, on-road evaluations) for assessing the most complex of everyday tasks, driving an automobile, and examined the types of deficits that may predispose an individual to impaired driving abilities. He has also designed simulator programs for use in clinical trials. 

Clinical Focus
Neuropsychology of HIV and other dementing disorders.
