About
Biography
I am Salman Zahoor, MD, associate professor in the Department of Neurology at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. I specialize in epilepsy, clinical neurophysiology and neuromodulation for neurological disorders. My research focuses on advancing the understanding and treatment of epilepsy and seizure disorders, with particular interest in the use of innovative neurostimulation approaches to improve patient outcomes.
My work centers on evaluating and optimizing therapies for people living with epilepsy and other complex neurological conditions. Areas of interest include deep brain stimulation (DBS), vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) and other neuromodulation strategies that can help reduce seizure burden and improve quality of life. Through clinical and translational research, I seek to better understand how these therapies can be tailored to individual patients and integrated into comprehensive epilepsy care.
As a physician-scientist, I collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to bridge discoveries in neuroscience with real-world clinical applications. My goal is to develop evidence-based approaches that advance the treatment of epilepsy and neurological disorders, while expanding access to innovative therapies for the patients who may benefit most.
