Michael A. Ciliberto, MD
Clinical Associate Professor of Pediatrics - Neurology
Office
Introduction
I am interested in research concerning the clinical improvement in the treatment and diagnosis of epilepsy. This encompasses all aspects of these categories. I am interested in the trial of novel medical and device treatments for the treatment of epilepsy. I am interested in participating in multicenter trials investigating the natural history of epilepsy and the treatment of epilepsy with the greater goal of improving our ability to treat these patients.
