Tracy Dixon-Salazar’s daughter, Savannah, was diagnosed with epilepsy as a child, but her seizures became severe and frequent. Faced with limited answers from doctors, Dixon-Salazar returned to school and earned a Ph.D. in neurobiology. Through her research, she discovered that a calcium channel mutation was causing Savannah’s seizures and found a treatment that reduced them by 95%. Dixon-Salazar now advocates for families affected by Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, highlighting the challenges of caregiving and the importance of support.
