About
Susanne Schubert‐Bast is a leading clinical researcher in epileptology, with a focused expertise in the presurgical evaluation of drug-resistant epilepsies. Her major contributions center on improving the safety and precision of invasive EEG monitoring—a critical step for patients undergoing epilepsy surgery. In her landmark 2018 study, she systematically analyzed complications related to the implantation, video-EEG monitoring, and explantation of intracranial electrodes, providing the first comprehensive risk assessment in this high-stakes procedure. This work, cited over 50 times, has become a foundational reference for epilepsy centers worldwide, directly influencing clinical protocols to minimize patient harm. Beyond this, Schubert‐Bast’s research spans the optimization of long-term video-EEG monitoring and the development of safer surgical strategies for refractory epilepsy. Her rigorous approach to quantifying procedural risks has empowered clinicians to better counsel patients and refine surgical decision-making. For students and researchers, her work exemplifies how meticulous clinical analysis can translate into tangible improvements in patient care, bridging the gap between advanced neurodiagnostic techniques and everyday practice in epilepsy management.
