Dr.  Newcorn is highly regarded for his work focusing on ADHD across the lifespan, aggression in children and adolescents, descriptive psychopathology of child and adolescent disorders, and child and adolescent psychopharmacology. His research and writing span both clinical and translational topics. He has been the primary investigator on a Research Infrastructure Network funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) to understand the neurobiology of ADHD. He is the principal investigator or co-investigator on several NIMH-funded grants examining the clinical presentation, neurobiological basis, and treatment of ADHD.

A nationally recognized educator, Dr. Newcorn is an editorial board member of several leading child psychiatry and psychology journals. He directs an active clinical trials program and has studied many of the newer pharmacology options for ADHD. He has published more than 250 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters on these and related subjects. Dr. Newcorn’s recent research utilizes data from clinical, neuropsychological, pharmacogenetic, and fMRI measures to explore clinical and neurobiological bases of differential response to ADHD treatment—with an over-riding goal of ultimately being able to match treatments to individual patient needs.
