Pediatric neurologist and epilepsy specialist
Epilepsy physician-scientist and outdoor enthusiast
Clare Timbie is a pediatric neurologist who cares for children with epilepsy, including epilepsy that doesn't respond to first-line medications. She has expertise in evaluating patients for epilepsy surgery. She has special interests in genetic epilepsy conditions and how epilepsy impacts children's development.
In her research, Timbie focuses on understanding the brain's limbic circuits, which have roles in regulating emotion and behavior, and the brain's thalamic circuits, which have a wide range of roles, including regulating attention, movement and sensory processing. She studies how these circuits are disrupted in epilepsy and investigates treating epilepsy by manipulating these parts of the brain.
Timbie earned her medical degree and her doctorate at Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine. At UCSF, she completed a residency in child neurology, followed by a fellowship in pediatric epilepsy.
