Dr. Knopman is a clinical neurologist involved in research in late-life cognitive disorders, such as mild cognitive impairment and dementia. His specific interests are in the very early stages of Alzheimer's disease, in cognitive impairment due to stroke (cerebrovascular disease) and in cognitive impairment due to frontotemporal degeneration. He is involved in epidemiology, clinical trials and diagnostic studies of these disorders.

Dr. Knopman's primary role is as a clinician, and he sees patients with various cognitive disorders nearly every day. Goals of his research are, first, to improve diagnostic accuracy and, second, to find better treatments for patients with Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal degeneration and cerebrovascular cognitive disorders.

In addition, Dr. Knopman served as the chair for the Alzheimer’s Association Medical and Scientific Advisory Group, was the former chair for the Medical Advisory Council of the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration, and served as deputy editor for Neurology from 2009-2016.
