Regina Triplett, MD, MS

Regina Triplett is a practicing child neurologist with a specialization in epilepsy and EEG. She sees children with epilepsy and related disorders in the hospital and in the clinic. In 2015, she completed her medical degree and a master’s degree in clinical research at the University of Pittsburgh, PA. She then came to Washington University in St. Louis for her child neurology residency and epilepsy fellowship training. She conducted research as a resident and later, postdoctoral fellow, with the WUNDER lab beginning 2017. Now, her collaborative work is focused on using multimodal MRI and EEG techniques to study healthy and disrupted neurodevelopment in infants with a range of risk factors, particularly focused on those at high risk of developing epilepsy. She currently directs a clinical study using high-density EEG in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) designed to better understand how seizures and epilepsy develop in infants born preterm. Her long-term goals are to use her findings to design and run clinical trials to treat or prevent epilepsy.
