Mark Bowren, PhD was awarded the 2026 Susan S. Spencer, MD Next Generation Research Grant in Epilepsy. Dr. Bowren will work to improve brain mapping for patients with epilepsy by using a technique called ultra-high frequency stimulation to temporarily pause signaling between brain regions. This insight has the potential to help make brain surgery safer for patients and improve their long-term quality of life. This research is co-funded by the American Epilepsy Society & the Epilepsy Foundation.
