Dr. Maxwell is a clinical neuroscientist with specialized translational research training. Her goal is to facilitate collaborations between engineering, pharmacology, biology to encourage translation from lab/bench to beside and back to bench. Drexel is unique in that it has a large population of neurosciences patients in an academic setting, where researchers can design and implement clinical trials based on observed unmet needs and pursue specific preclinical questions guided by clinical phenomena.

Dr. Maxwell's specific research interests span the neurosciences with concentrations in cerebrovascular disease, cognitive and movement disorders, neurophysiology, neuro-oncology and headache. Her previous research experience involved studying electrophysiology and biomarkers in autism spectrum disorders and preclinical models of headache and schizophrenia.
