Dr. G Teskey

Biography

G. Campbell Teskey is a Professor at the Hotchkiss Brain Institute (HBI), University of Calgary, primarily appointed in the Department of Cell Biology & Anatomy. He leads the Epilepsy, Brain and Mental Health Team and has directed a Canadian Institute of Health Research (CIHR)-funded research program that focuses on how seizures alter brain function. With a PhD from the University of Western Ontario and postdoctoral training in Behavioral Neuroscience from McMaster University, Teskey has published over 100 peer-reviewed articles and has received multiple teaching awards. He has served as Education Director at HBI and as a Scientific Officer in Behavioral Sciences for CIHR. His research highlights the severe consequences of seizures, including long-lasting hypoxic episodes that negatively impact neuronal function and behavior, as well as the implications of altered motor map expression. They are also actively involved in understanding the development, anatomy, and plasticity associated with neurobiology. Teskey is committed to discovering methods to prevent or reverse the neural reorganizing effects of seizures, aiming to identify treatments that can mitigate the fatal consequences of epilepsy.
