Peter Turkeltaub, MD, Ph.D.

Assistant Professor, Department of Neurology

BS -The George Washington University, 1997, Electrical Engineering
MD, Ph.D. - Georgetown University School of Medicine, 2005
Intern in Internal Medicine, Georgetown University Hospital, June 2005 - June 2006
Neurology Resident, Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, July 2006 - June 2009
Cognitive Neurology Fellow, University of Pennsylvania, 2009 - 2011
Assistant Professor of Neurology, Georgetown University Medical Center, 2011 - Present

Dr. Turkeltaub is a cognitive neurologist and neuroscientist whose research investigates the brain's organization for language and other cognitive faculties, how this organization changes in the context of developmental or acquired brain disorders, and how we might enhance recovery. He is the Director of the Cognitive Recovery Lab at Georgetown University and MedStar National Rehabilitation Hospital. The lab uses a variety of techniques, primarily TMS, tDCS, fMRI, neuroimaging meta-analysis, and neuropsychology. A key aim of the laboratory is to develop new treatments for language disorders and translate these treatments to the bedside. Dr. Turkeltaub is also the Director of the Aphasia Clinic at MedStar National Rehabilitation Hospital.
