BIOGRAPHY
Before joining the Neuromotor Behavior Lab, Dr. Issabekov received his medical degree from Peking University in Beijing. He then trained in the neurosurgical residency program of the China International Neuroscience Institute CHINA-INI, and completed his epilepsy surgery program at the prestigious Beijing Institute of Functional Neurosurgery in Beijing. His clinical research mainly focused on identifying methods to create and validate a prediction tool for children undergoing a curative hemispherectomy (half brain surgery) for medically intractable epilepsy. His research used a multimodal approach involving resting-state fMRI, electroencephalography (EEG), and magnetoencephalography (MEG). Outside of the lab, to inspire the next generation of space doctors he enjoys volunteering with STEM outreach efforts including the “OYLA” popular science magazine for students and Cosmo Medicine blog page.
