Biography
Dr. Magid-Bernstein completed her MD and PhD with a focus in immunology at Rutgers University – New Jersey Medical School in Newark, NJ in 2015. She then went on to complete her medical internship and residency training in Neurology at New York Presbyterian – Columbia University Medical Center, followed by a fellowship in Neurocritical Care at New York Presbyterian – Columbia University Medical Center & Weill Cornell Medicine before joining the Yale Department of Neurology Division of Neurocritical Care and Emergency Neurology in 2021.
Dr. Magid-Bernstein is dedicated to taking care of complex neurocritically ill patients during her clinical time in the NeuroICU at Yale. When she is not on clinical service, she is developing a research career focused on understanding the role that inflammation plays in outcomes following intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Her research was previously supported by an Neurocritical Care Society Research Fellowship Grant (2021-2022) and by an American Heart Association Career Development Award (2023-2026). In 2025, she was awarded a K23 grant by the National Institutes of Health/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
