Dr. Rosenfeld is the John and Elizabeth Harris Professor of Neurology, Head of the Division of Neuro-Oncology in the Department of Neurology, College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University, and Co-Director of the Brain Tumor Center at the New York-Presbyterian Hospital. After completing his training, he joined the medical school faculty at the University of Alabama at Birmingham , and assumed directorship of its Brain Tumor Program in 1995. Under his leadership, the UAB Brain Tumor Program underwent a marked expansion in both clinical and translational research, enabling it to achieve a position of national prominence. This culminated in Dr. Rosenfeld's being awarded a Brain Cancer Specialized Center of Research Excellence (SPORE) grant by the National Cancer Institute in 2002--one of only two nation-wide. Dr. Rosenfeld's research, which has been funded by the National Cancer Institute and the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke, focuses on novel ways of pharmacologically-blocking brain tumor growth and invasiveness by targeting the molecular motors that drive mitosis and cell motility. He is a Fellow of the American Neurological Association, has served as a member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Biological Chemistry, is a peer reviewer for over 15 scientific journals, and is a member of the Developmental Therapeutics study section. He has also served as the Educational Program Director for the Society for Neuro-Oncology (1999) and as a member of the NCI/NINDS Progress Review Group in Neuro-Oncology.
