Congratulations to MRFF grant awardees Michele Callisaya and Patrick Kwan

Congratulations to Central Clinical School's Associate Professor Michele Callisaya and Professor Patrick Kwan on their MRFF grants! See the missions and our projects below.

Participants sought: How does epilepsy affect control of blood pressure?

How does Vagal Nerve Stimulation reduce epileptic seizures?

The Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute is seeking participants for a research study to compare how epilepsy affects the control of blood pressure. We want to find out how Vagal Nerve Stimulation (VNS), an effective treatment for drug- resistant epilepsy, works to reduce seizures and to reduce the elevated cardiovascular risk associated with epilepsy.
