Bio

Dr. Edward C. Mader Jr. is an Associate Professor of Neurology at the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center (LSUHSC) in New Orleans, Louisiana. He is a diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) in the specialty of neurology and in the subspecialties of clinical neurophysiology and sleep medicine. He is also a diplomate of the American Board of Sleep Medicine (ABSM). Dr. Mader is the Associate Medical Director of the University Hospital Clinical Neurophysiology and Sleep Laboratories and is a staff epileptologist of the LSUHSC Epilepsy Center of Excellence.

Dr. Mader obtained his medical degree from the University of the Philippines in Manila. He completed his internship and neurology residency at the Pennsylvania State University. He underwent three years of fellowship training in clinical neurophysiology, epilepsy, and sleep medicine at the LSU Medical Center in New Orleans, the institution where he is now a faculty member.

Teaching residents and fellows is regarded by Dr. Mader as the most gratifying aspect of his career. He also has a keen interest in research and is author of several peer-reviewed articles, abstracts, reviews and textbook chapters. Currently, his primary research interest is computer-based analysis of normal and abnormal electrical signals generated by the brain. He is also involved in clinical trials of new anti-epileptic drugs and medical devices. Dr. Mader is currently a member of the American Epilepsy Society (AES), the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society (ACNS), the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) and the New Orleans Neurological Society.
