Peimin Zhu, MD

Dr. Zhu attended Medical School at Hunan Medical University. He completed Graduate School in Neuroscience of Excellence in Louisiana State University Health Science Center in New Orleans, LA. His Residency in Neurology was at Louisiana State University Health Shreveport. His Fellowships in Research in Immunology was at the University of Pennsylvania and Clinical Neurophysiology/Epilepsy was at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. He has Board Certification through the American Board of Psychiatry & Neurology in Neurology. His journey in exploring the nervous system started as a graduate student in the Neuroscience Center of Excellence at LSU Health Science Center in New Orleans in 1997. For over twenty years, it still intrigues him every day. His first project in Dr. Bazan’s lab was studying lipid activation pathways in brain ischemia model. His research project was on stroke, neurodegeneration and neuroimmunology in early 2000s. It logically extended in the immune system at the University of Pennsylvania between 2004 and 2008 on ion channels and immune cell activation. His current research interests are biomarkers in intractable temporal lobe epilepsy, electroencephalogram (EEG) analysis, post stroke seizure. By working with functional neuroradiology scientists, we can have various computational analyses of brain images and also connectome analysis.
