1.8
Million Research Grant
The
Bronte Epilepsy Research Program has attracted leading experts, such
as clinical epileptologist Philip A. Schwartzkroin and his research
team from the University of Washington in Seattle. He also fueled
the program with an awarded $1.8 million grant.
Dr. Schwartzkroin is renowned for
his Epilepsy research. He was the first to employ hippocampal slice
preparation to study Epileptic activities in vitro. His current research
includes cell death and reorganization in the Epileptic brain, Epileptogenicity
in the developmentally abnormal brain, genetic contributions to Epilepsy
and seizure-sensitivity, and modulation of neuronal excitablity.
Dr. Schwartzkroin has been honored with both Klingenstein and Guggenheim
Fellowships,
the National Institutes of Health Javits Award, American Epilepsy
Society Research Award and International League Against Epilepsy
Ambassador for Epilepsy Award.
