Research Focus

My research focuses on improving our understanding and treatment of epilepsy in children, particularly seizure disorders related to genetics. My projects include studies aimed at better understanding how genetic abnormalities lead to epilepsy in children, as well as clinical trials designed to test possible treatments for specific genetic neurologic disorders.
