Expertise and Research Interests
I am interested particularly in the interface between child neurology, epilepsy, genetics and inborn errors of metabolism.
Specific areas of research interest are:
1. Epidemiology and natural history of childhood epilepsy
2. Organic acidemias, in particular glutaricaciduria; neurochemistry and neuropathological aspects, animal models
3. Genetic and neurobiological basis of pervasive developmental disorders
4. Genetic basis of epilepsy
5. Epileptic encephalopathies of infancy and childhood
6. Cerebral morphogenesis, developmental controls of brain and craniofacial structure with reference to agenesis of the corpus callosum, neuronal migration defects, and holoprosencephaly
