Dr. Theodore H. Schwartz Awarded $650,000 Wellcome Trust Grant for Collaborative Epilepsy Research
Dr. Theodore H. Schwartz, Director of Epilepsy Surgery at Weill Cornell Medical College, has been awarded a $650,000 grant from the Wellcome Trust, a British-based global charitable foundation committed to public health initiatives. The grant supports a collaborative research effort on the effect of epilepsy on blood flow and oxygenation in the brain. The project brings together the recognized neuroimaging and electrophysiology capabilities of Dr. Jason Berwick and his laboratory at the University of Sheffield in the UK with Dr. Schwartz's expertise in the study of brain function in epilepsy models. The 3-year project targets the enhanced use of neuroimaging technology for the presurgical localization of epileptic foci, which would improve surgical outcomes in epilepsy patients.
