Lab members
S. Kathleen Bandt, MD
Katie is an Assistant Professor of Neurological Surgery at Northwestern University. Her clinical work focuses on the surgical management of epilepsy while her research interests focus on developing new tools for evaluating patients with epilepsy and for predicting which patients will be most likely to be helped by current surgical techniques.
Pierre Besson, PhD
Pierre is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiology at Northwestern University. He has been developing image processing methods for application to epilepsy for more than 10 years. Goals of this work have been to better understand the underlying causes of epilepsy as well as to develop algorithms to inform clinical decision making.
Trainees & Alumni
Anil Mahavadi, MD
Anil is a neurosurgery resident at the University of Alabama. His background in engineering from Berkeley and his strong interest in computational neurosurgical research, led him to seek out ANISE lab. His work in the lab focused on defining the anatomy of the claustrum in healthy controls as well as individuals with epilepsy. Other interests include film and exploring nature.
Hannah Weiss, MD
Hannah is a neurosurgery resident at New York University. Her work in the lab focused on defining the anatomy of the claustrum in healthy controls as well as individuals with epilepsy. Her strong interest in neuroanatomy and the clinical implications of these findings further confirmed her interest in pursuing a career in neurosurgery.
Regine Goh, MD
Regine is an anesthesiology resident at the University of California, San Diego. Her work in the lab focused on defining the anatomy of the claustrum in healthy controls as well as individuals with epilepsy. Outside of research and medicine, she enjoys cooking and being outdoors.
Nathan Shlobin, BS
Nathan is a medical student at the Feinberg School of Medicine. His work focuses on database development and maintenance that allows the teams’ work to progress. He enjoys engaging in research in the Department of Neurosurgery and is excited to learn more about epilepsy through this research.
