Pediatric research labs
Wong Lab
Michael Wong, MD, PhD
Investigating the cellular and molecular mechanisms of epilepsy and seizure-induced brain injury. Using genetic and pharmacological models, the lab focuses on tuberous sclerosis complex, acquired epilepsies and dendritic damage to uncover therapeutic targets and improve treatment strategies.
Zempel Lab
John Zempel, MD, PhD
Developing advanced imaging techniques and contrast agents to improve seizure localization and damage assessment. By combining magnetic resonance imaging with electrical signal measurement, the lab enhances epilepsy diagnosis and surgical evaluation, aiming to make treatments more precise and effective.
