North Pacific Epilepsy Research, founded in 1996 by Dr. Mark Yerby, is a small research entity based in Portland, Oregon. It specializes in clinical and epidemiological studies in epilepsy, with a focus on antiepileptic drugs, epilepsy during pregnancy, and pregnancy outcomes. The organization appears to operate with a minimal staff. Its work aims to generate evidence that informs medical understanding and management of epilepsy in various contexts. Current research projects include examining the neurological effects of anesthetic gases on recovery room personnel, the impact of antiepileptic drugs on proteins related to vitamin K deficiency, and the pharmacokinetics of AEDs in pregnancy. Through these studies, the group contributes to the broader medical practices field by expanding knowledge on how epilepsy and its treatment interact with pregnancy and related outcomes.
