Research Focus
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.

Career totals from OpenAlex, compared against labs that share a department. A department spans everything from one paper to tens of thousands, so bar heights are on a log scale — otherwise the largest lab would flatten every other bar to a line.
