Epilepsy is marked by recurring seizures. He served for over 13 years as Director of the Division
of Demyelinating Atrophic and Dementing Disorders, National Institute
of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) within the NIH. Leventhal acted as a top consultant to pharmaceutical
and biotechnology companies and academic institutions developing
neurological compounds. They augment the
therapeutic experience and industry knowledge of our current clinical
team, in addition to bringing a tremendous depth of knowledge in the
area of government science policy and ethical considerations in
clinical research. This
will greatly increase the statistical power and gene coverage in our human
