Research Focus
Dr. Claude Steriade's research lab at NYU School of Medicine focuses on advancing the diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune epilepsy. By using innovative imaging techniques like TSPO-PET and MRI, the lab aims to uncover the underlying neuroinflammatory processes that contribute to the condition. The ultimate goal is to develop more effective diagnostic markers and treatment strategies for patients suffering from this complex disorder.
