Scott C. Baraban, PhD
University of California, San Francisco
The aim of Dr. Baraban’s project is to investigate whether stem cells transplanted into the central nervous system of mice can alter synaptic function in the brain, change the overall level of excitability in the brain and act as a “cure” for patients with uncontrollable epilepsy.
