Christine Eckhardt, MD

Christine Eckhardt, MD, MS, assistant professor of neurology, joins the Neurocritical Care team in the department of neurology. Originally from New Jersey, she has lived in Massachusetts for over 20 years. After undergraduate and medical school at Harvard, she completed neurology residency and neurocritical care fellowship at Mass General Hospital Brigham. 

Dr. Eckhardt’s recent research focuses on the use of artificial intelligence and quantitative EEG to automate detection of encephalopathy in various disease states, such as neurotoxicity from CAR-T cell therapy. Clinically, she is interested in EEG and multimodality monitoring in the NeuroICU among patients with encephalopathy, traumatic brain injury and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Dr. Eckhardt shares, “I have a longstanding interest in neuroscience since college and was fortunate to rotate in the NeuroICU as a third-year medical student. I found the acuity, team dynamics, patient interactions and physiology fascinating, and the opportunity to combine my clinical and research interests exciting.” 

In her spare time, she enjoys hiking, skiing, and exploring the outdoors with her family and dog.  

We are excited to have Dr. Eckhardt join the neurology community and support our growing Neurocritical Care team and NeuroICU.
