Principal Investigator

Dr. Jack Lin is Professor of Neurology at the University of California, Davis, where he directs the Comprehensive Epilepsy Program, a state-of-the-art clinical and research program. He has a Bachelor of Science degree from Northwestern University, a Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree from Rush University, neurology residency training at the University of California, San Diego, and epilepsy fellowship at the University of California, Los Angeles. Dr. Lin is a renowned epilepsy specialist focused on treating drug-resistant epilepsy. He works with a multidisciplinary team of epilepsy specialists, neurosurgeons, neuropsychologists, neuroradiologists, and EEG technologists to provide the most advanced technology to diagnose and treat epilepsy, such as minimally invasive robot-assisted Stereo-EEG, laser ablation, responsive neurostimulation, and deep brain stimulation to diagnose. His research, funded by the NIH Brain Initiative, focuses on the neurophysiological analysis of memory, emotional processing, learning, and sleep using intracranial EEG and single neuron recordings in humans. He has published in top journals, including The Lancet, Nature Communications, Neuron, and PNAS.
