Epilepsy Monitoring Unit expands at St. Louis Children's Hospital

NCAN TR&D3 co-leaders Dr. Jon Willie, MD, PhD and Peter Brunner, PhD, together with their collaborators at SLCH, Drs. Tom Foutz, MD, PhD, John Zempel, MD, PhD, Jarod Roland, MD, and Sean McEvoy, MD are developing Adaptive Neurotechnologies to improve diagnosis, treatment and therapy in patients affected by intractable epilepsy. The Epilepsy-Monitoring Unit (EMU) at the Pediatric Epilepsy Center at St. Louis Children’s Hospital (SLCH), Washington University School of Medicine has expanded to 10 beds. This increase in bed capacity will significantly increase the opportunities for research at SLCH and the progress made within NCAN TR&D3.
