Research

The fellow will have at least one day a week (20% or more) of protected time for research. Fellows are matched to research opportunities based on their interests and the availability of funding and mentorship. Current areas of research in the Division include pediatric epilepsy, autism, rare genetic disorders, brain tumor, congenital heart disease, neuroimmunology, brain tumors, neurofibromatosis and concussion/ mTBI.

Fellows are expected to be productive members of the research team and to work to develop research competencies. Fellows typically present at professional conferences and submit one or more review papers, chapters, research articles or grant applications. Our program includes a research curriculum and monthly research meetings/seminars to support the development of research skills. Our postdocs are authors on numerous peer-reviewed publications, book chapters and conference presentations and have won awards for research.
