KXCI
Joshua Hack works in the lab of Dr. Michael Hammer studying the rare pediatric disease SCN8A Epilepsy caused by changes in the gene that encodes for a specific sodium channel (SCN8A) located in the center of the brain. The focus of his research is to develop a model to predict the severity of disease outcomes in patients based on where in the gene their changes occur.
