Dr. Robyn M. Busch's lab focuses on understanding memory problems in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), especially those who continue to have seizures despite treatment. The lab aims to uncover the biological markers associated with memory issues to develop better treatments and preventive strategies. By studying tissue samples and blood from patients, the research is set to improve prognostic models and ultimately enhance the quality of life for individuals affected by TLE and related neurological disorders.

Dr. Evan Deneris's lab at Case Western Reserve University focuses on understanding how different types of serotonin neurons develop in the brain. They use advanced techniques to examine how genes and regulatory mechanisms shape these neurons and how disruptions in these processes could lead to neurodevelopmental disorders, like autism and depression. The lab combines expertise in molecular biology, genomics, and neuroscience to unravel these complex questions.

Dr. Marisa McGinley's research lab focuses on improving the care and quality of life for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) by exploring the effectiveness of telehealth compared to traditional in-clinic visits. The lab is conducting a study to evaluate the clinical and economic outcomes of telehealth care for newly diagnosed MS patients, with aims to enhance accessibility and reduce costs associated with MS treatment.

Dr. Zhong Irene Wang's lab focuses on improving the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy, particularly for patients who have not had success with traditional therapies. The lab uses advanced MR Fingerprinting technology to detect subtle brain abnormalities that are often missed in standard MRI scans. This cutting-edge approach aims to enhance surgical outcomes for patients suffering from resistant forms of epilepsy by combining imaging data with machine learning to develop personalized treatment plans.
