Dr. Steven P. Woods is a leading neuropsychologist, internationally recognized for his outstanding contributions to improving clinical detection, prediction and treatment of real-world health outcomes in diverse neuropsychological populations. He has forged an exceptional career path, which has led him to publish over 300 articles and serve on editorial boards in 5 major Clinical Neuropsychology journals. 

His excellent scientific and clinical work focuses primarily on the ways in which cognition can hinder and support daily activities, health and well-being in adults with chronic medical conditions. Other areas of scientific relevance, for this expert, also include health literacy, apathy, intra-individual variability and internet navigation skills. His research projects are funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).

In this regard, Dr. Woods' research approach explores the application of theoretical models to elucidate the role of neurocognitive deficits (e.g., memory) in everyday functioning and health literacy in people affected by HIV and aging. In this way, his interest focuses, for example, on how people's ability to "Remember to Remember", the so-called prospective memory, influences health-related behaviors, such as medication adherence. This multidisciplinary approach is reflected in his groundbreaking research, available on Google Scholar and ResearchGate. 

He has also founded the Clinical Neuropsychology Service at Thomas Street Health Center, where he holds a senior position as Director. Here, Dr. Woods provides Clinical Neuropsychology services to people affected by HIV, providing critical support to communities in need and reaffirming his commitment to the practical application of his research to improve lives.
