Research Focus
Dr. Hannah Cranley Glass's research lab at UCSF focuses on understanding the genetic factors that influence the development of epilepsy in children who have experienced neonatal seizures. By studying a diverse cohort of children, the lab aims to identify genetic changes linked to the increased risk of epilepsy after brain injury. Their work seeks to improve prediction methods for epilepsy risk and refine treatment approaches for affected children, ultimately contributing to better health outcomes for vulnerable populations.
