Dr. Schofield's research focuses on neurocognitive outcomes of oncology treatment. Her areas of interest are acute and long-term neurotoxicity and cognitive sequelae of cellular therapy and transplant. She is the primary investigator (PI) on two funded studies of cognitive functioning after hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy.
