Nicolas Gaspard

Nicolas Gaspard is an Assistant Professor at Yale School of Medicine, specializing in neurology and critical care neurophysiology. His research focuses on epilepsy, particularly status epilepticus, NORSE/FIRES syndromes, and EEG monitoring in acute neurological conditions. He leads studies on therapeutic interventions (e.g., electrical stimulation, neuroprotective agents) and outcome prediction in cardiac arrest and epilepsy patients. Collaborations include teams at Yale and international institutions, with a focus on translational research and clinical practice improvements.

Education: PhD from Université Libre de Bruxelles (2009). Research interests include neurocritical care, cortico-cortical connectivity, and optimizing EEG protocols in intensive care settings. His work bridges clinical practice and advanced neurophysiological techniques, aiming to improve patient outcomes in severe neurological emergencies. Key contributions include studies on single-pulse electrical stimulation reducing seizures and the role of sodium DL-3-ß-hydroxybutyrate in neuroprotection post-cardiac arrest.

Publications (2023–2025) emphasize epilepsy syndromes, critical care EEG applications, and multicenter studies on treatment adherence and long-term outcomes. His team actively engages in NORSE/FIRES registry analyses to characterize disease progression and communication trends. Grants and funding details are not explicitly listed, but his research aligns with Yale’s focus on translational neurology.
