Dr. Delalle subsequently joined Developmental Neurobiology Laboratory headed by Professor Verne Caviness at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) in Boston where she elucidated the expression of cell cycle regulators in relation to the cortical development. After completing her Research Fellowship in Neurology at Harvard Medical School in 1997, Dr. Delalle pursued further postgraduate training as a resident in Anatomic Pathology and Neuropathology in the Department of Pathology at MGH. She became board certified by the American Board of Pathology in Anatomic Pathology and Neuropathology in 2001. Before joining Lifespan Academic Medical Center and Brown University, Dr. Delalle worked in the teaching hospitals of Harvard Medical School and Boston University School of Medicine as a scientist investigating neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric diseases, as a neuropathologist with expertise in neurooncology in the clinical arena, and as a teacher and mentor committed to the education of medical students, residents, and neuropathology fellows.
