James O'Connell McNamara is a Distinguished Professor in Neuroscience at Duke University School of Medicine, holding professorships in Neurobiology, Neurology, and Pharmacology and Cancer Biology. He serves as Director of the Center for Translational Neuroscience and is a Faculty Network Member of the Duke Institute for Brain Sciences. His research focuses on elucidating the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying epileptogenesis, particularly temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). McNamara's research interests center on understanding how episodes of status epilepticus lead to the development of temporal lobe epilepsy. His laboratory discovered that excessive activation of the BDNF receptor tyrosine kinase TrkB is required for epileptogenesis, and they developed a peptide (pY816) that uncouples TrkB from phospholipase Cγ1, which can prevent and potentially reverse epilepsy. His work has established a novel strategy targeting receptor tyrosine kinase signaling for epilepsy prevention and treatment. His recent publications demonstrate continued active research in TrkB signaling pathways, seizure detection methods, and therapeutic approaches for epilepsy. His work spans from basic molecular mechanisms to translational applications, with a clear focus on developing disease-modifying treatments for epilepsy rather than just symptom management. Dr. McNamara has received numerous prestigious awards including membership in the National Academy of Medicine (2005), the Freedom to Discover Award from Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation (2001), and multiple Epilepsy Research Recognition Awards from professional societies. His sustained contributions to epilepsy research have been recognized with two Javits Neuroscience Investigator Awards from the National Institute of Neurological Disease and Stroke. McNamara earned his M.D. from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 1968 and has maintained an active research program for decades, with publications spanning from the 1980s to the present day. His work has significantly advanced our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying epilepsy and has opened new therapeutic avenues for preventing and treating this neurological disorder.
