Anne Williamson, Ph.D.
Research
Dr. Williamson is an assistant professor in the Department of Neurosurgery and Section of Neurobiology at Yale. She received her Ph.D. at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in 1988. She performed postdoctoral work with Drs. David McCormick and Gordon Shepherd prior to joining the faculty in 1991. She is recognized for her work on the electrophysiological changes seen in the cortex and hippocampi of epileptic patients.

Dr. Williamson's principle research interests are in the cellular mechanisms underlying human epilepsy. Her studies have focused on the electrophysiological properties of human tissue resected for the treatment of intractable epilespy . In addition, she collaborates with several members of the section in characterizing novel models of temporal lobe epilepsy. This work is funded by two NIH program project grants and an R29 (FIRST) award from the NIH. Her lab is one of the few in the world where physiological analyses of both human hippocampal and cortical tissue are performed.
