     Gregory A. Worrell received his Ph.D. in Physics from Case Western Reserve University and M.D. from University of Texas, Galveston. He completed his Neurology and Epilepsy training at Mayo Clinic, where he is now Associate Professor of Neurology. He is a member of the IEEE, American Neurological Association, Academy of Neurology, and American Epilepsy Society. Dr. Worrell’s research is integrated with an active clinical practice focused on patients with medically resistant epilepsy. The current focus of his research is the use of large-scale electrophysiology, brain stimulation, and data mining to identify and track electrophysiological biomarkers of epileptic brain and seizure generation. He is currently directing clinical trials at Mayo Clinic investigating therapeutic brain stimulation and seizure prediction.
