About
Biography
I am the associate director of the Cincinnati Children's Research Foundation and a professor of pediatrics at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. I received my medical degree, cum laude, from Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, PA. I completed my residency in pediatrics at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, MD, and a fellowship in child neurology at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA. I also completed a National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke research fellowship in pediatric neurology and was a fellow in epilepsy and electroencephalography at St. Louis Children’s Hospital, Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri.
I have authored and co-authored more than 130 articles and book chapters, been involved with the development of six evidence-based guidelines about epilepsy therapy, and given over 150 invited lectures throughout the world. I have been the principal investigator on multiple NIH grants. Currently, I direct the NIH-funded Childhood Absence Epilepsy clinical trial involving 32 pediatric centers around the United States. My fields of expertise are pediatric neurology, pediatric epilepsy, clinical pharmacology, and pharmacogenetics.
