Speaking on Epilepsy and Neurocritical Care

Dr Rubinos’ clinical and research interests lie in critical care EEG monitoring, status epilepticus, and acute symptomatic seizures. Her work integrates advanced multimodal monitoring, such as EEG, cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers, and serum analysis, with clinical neurophysiology to improve outcomes for critically ill patients.

In addition to her clinical work, Dr Rubinos is passionate about advancing global health epilepsy care and neurocritical care. She has helped develop initiatives focused on intensive care unit EEG access and neurocritical care in resource-limited settings, and is a strong advocate for equitable neurological care worldwide.
