Research Focus
Dr. Hitten P Zaveri's lab at Yale University focuses on epilepsy research, particularly on improving the quality of life for individuals living with this condition. The lab is investigating how changes in saliva can help predict when seizures might occur, much like weather forecasts predict rain. By identifying biochemical markers related to seizure likelihood, the lab aims to empower patients with the knowledge to better manage their condition and drive new treatments.
