Research Summary
Dr. Kadam's doctoral research involved the study of epileptogenesis using in vivo ECOG monitoring using telemetry and in vitro slice electrophysiology in a rat model of perinatal hypoxia-ischemia. During her fellowship training at Hopkins she investigated the effect of neonatal strokes on endogenous neurogenesis in the neurogenic niches of the sub-granular and sub-ventricular zones in the central nervous system.
Using the expertise gained during her pre-doctoral training in the Dudek Lab, she has established a mouse electroencephalogram (EEG) laboratory at the Kennedy Krieger Institute with capabilities of recording chronic and continuous EEGs. Dr. Kadam is interested in investigating epileptogenesis in animal models of developmental disabilities with the goal to test novel therapies. Her current research projects involve characterizing the acute electrographic seizures and investigating the evolution of refractoriness following ischemia in the neonatal period. She is also invested in multiple collaborations investigating epileptogenesis in models of developmental disabilities both genetic and acquired.
