Heinz Eric Krestel, MD

I am a trained clinical neurologist and have always been interested in combining clinical practice with a better understanding of disease concepts and pathomechanisms from basic research. In my education and training, I have taken a multidisciplinary approach that allows me to explore topics such as the application of real-time processing of brain biosignals to the analysis of epileptiform phenomena that may result in transient impairment of behavior and cognition. A second focus is to study the development of epilepsy and resistance to therapy with seizure suppressing drugs from the perspective of genetics.
