Fruits for seizures? A potential treatment strategy for epilepsy? - Farooq Shaikh

Today we talk to Farooq Shaikh about his exciting research into how the contents of some fruit may (or may not) be able to help control seizures!  We talk about neuroinflammation, genomics, "negative" results (which are positive!), drug discovery, and more. In addition to being an associate professor, neuropharmacologist, and Research Strength Leader at Monash University Malaysia, Farooq works with Epilepsy Malaysia to help challenge the stigma faced by so many with epilepsy.  Farook is a recipient of Monash's PVC award for Excellence in Research in 2018 and a commendation in 2020. He is also the recipient of the Malaysian Society of Neuroscience (MSN)-best publication award in 2017. He was awarded the 2019 best young researcher and best young pharmacology teacher award by the Malaysian Society of Pharmacology & Physiology. He is involved in Ph..D supervision and publishing papers in high impact journals and has published over 100 peer-reviewed articles including book chapters in quality international journals (see some links below).
