    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur research team is working to develop new treatments for children at risk of neurodegenerative diseases. We are primarily focused on multiple sclerosis and X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, two conditions that involve inflammatory and metabolic disruption of the myelin that insulates brain cells. A key area of interest for us is how nutrient deficiencies during childhood may contribute to the disease processes and whether nutritional interventions could play a role in prevention.

    BioGil Vantomme, PhD
    Postdoctoral Fellow, Stanford University

    Dr. Vantomme is a neuroscientist specializing in electrophysiology and neural circuit dynamics. His research focuses on understanding the role of thalamocortical networks in cognition and neurological disorders, including epilepsy and autism spectrum disorders. Leveraging innovative in vitro and in vivo electrophysiological assays, Dr. Vantomme investigates the mechanisms underlying cognitive deficits and explores novel therapeutic strategies, including drug development and neuromodulation.

    Clinical Professor, Adult Neurology
    Clinical Professor (By courtesy), Neurosurgery

    Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am interested in the study of the radiological characteristics and temporal profile of edema/ tissue injury in the perihematomal area around spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. I am also interested in developing protocols for emergent reversal of anticoagulation in a life-threatening hemorrhage situation.
