Thomas and Nadia Davies committed the gift to the UCLA Department of Neurosurgery in memory of their late daughter Alfonsina Q. Davies and in honor of Paul Crandall, MD, the UCLA neurosurgeon who ended her epileptic seizures.
Dr. Crandall is the founder of UCLA’s first epilepsy surgery research program and had developed experimental treatments since the early 1960s. He is now retired and a professor emeritus of neurosurgery at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.
The release did not announce who has been named to the newly created endowed chair.
