MRJBF Supports Dr. Sookyong Koh
Dr. Koh is a neurologist with a clinical and research specialization in epilepsy. Her research is greatly focused on the processes by which seizures in early life increase the risk for developing epilepsy later in childhood or during adulthood.
With the funding from the MRJBF and other sources, Dr. Koh and her team aim to significantly improve treatment of epilepsy in children.
