Research Interests: Dr. Swann's work investigates basic mechanisms of childhood epilepsy, including how seizures affect neural development and cognition. His studies utilize animal models to explore interictal and ictal high-frequency EEG activity, synaptic transmission, and hippocampal dendrite growth. The articles reflect a strong focus on neurodevelopmental disorders and targeted pharmacological interventions.
Education: Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Maryland at College Park (1974).
