About Us
The Parker Lab aims to identify mechanisms involved in early brain development that, when disrupted, result in cortical malformation, epilepsy, and neurocognitive dysfunction. By understanding elements of this process, we are working to devise targeted therapies which can be delivered early, even during fetal development, with the goal of preventing the progression of disease rather than simply treating seizures and other symptoms after dysfunctional networks have already formed.

Health Sciences Research Facility III
Our lab is located on the 9th floor of the new HSF III building. The space features state of the art equipment and an open concept designed to facilitate collaborations. We are excited to be part of a bustling research team to set new standards of excellence in biomedical research.
Our Team
The Parker Lab was established at the University of Maryland in the Fall of 2022 on the 9th floor of the new HSFIII building. We have a strong team (lab family) of hard workers united in the goal of preventing epilepsy.
