William Stacey, M.D., Ph.D., is advancing tools to better detect and predict seizures, while Joanna Mattis, M.D., Ph.D., is exploring how seizures cause lasting disruption to brain function.

At Michigan Medicine, researchers are transforming epilepsy care through breakthroughs in genetics, brain science, and technology.

Jack Parent, M.D., and Lori Isom, Ph.D., are developing gene-targeted therapies and investigating how epilepsy affects both the brain and heart, with the goal of preventing outcomes like SUDEP.
