Gene Gurkoff conducts translational and basic research on brain injury and methods to moderate the effects of neurologic disorders, in particular traumatic brain injury and epilepsy. Projects include investigating how neural connectivity changes in the injured brain, and potential therapies including both pharmacological and deep brain stimulation. He is a member of the CounterACT Center of Excellence, a team of scientists evaluating the effects of organophosphate-induced epilepsy and the Center for Neuroengineering and Medicine because of his interest in analyzing neural activity and developing novel therapeutic tools.
