Research Focus
Dr. Christine K. Fox's lab at the University of California, San Francisco focuses on understanding the complex link between childhood stroke, seizures, and the development of epilepsy. Her research aims to uncover the inflammatory processes and brain regions involved in these occurrences, using data from children who have experienced strokes. The ultimate goal is to improve recovery outcomes and find effective treatments for preventing epilepsy in young stroke patients.

Research Aims
3AIM 01Investigate the inflammatory signaling pathways activated by acute seizures in children after stroke.
AIM 02Identify changes in inflammatory signaling in children who develop epilepsy following a stroke.
AIM 03Utilize machine learning to integrate various data types to model predictors of post-stroke epilepsy.
