Mark Cunningham

MARK CUNNINGHAM is the Professor of Neurophysiology of Epilepsy at TCD. His research group uses neurophysiological techniques to study the mechanisms by which neuronal microcircuits generate organised electrical activity in the brain.  He has a particular interest in understanding how pathological electrical activity is generated by the epileptic brain and how this can help develop better treatments for epilepsy. In FutureNeuro, he is leading the development of human brain slice models with colleagues at Beaumont Hospital and RCSI.
