This individual variability poses a significant challenge in epilepsy management, but also presents an opportunity for personalised treatment approaches in genetics, pharmacology and neuroimaging.
Finding treatments for drug-resistant epilepsy and treatments that effectively control seizures while minimising side effects, is vital for people with epilepsy. By understanding the intricate causes of epilepsy and the pathways involved in seizure generation, researchers can design medications that specifically target these pathways in a way that works for all people with epilepsy.
Advanced Therapeutics & Disease Modification theme leads
The Advanced Therapeutics & Disease Modification theme leads will be supported by a task force of preeminent UK scientists and clinicians. The team is driving a research programme to feed into an overall roadmap for research into epilepsy in order to secure largescale investment.
Advanced Therapeutics & Disease Modification on The Hub
Join The Hub – the online discussion portal for researchers working in the field of epilepsy and associated conditions – to find and share networking and collaboration opportunities, as well as workshops and events. If you would like to be involved in the task force group for the programme, you can find more information on The Hub here.
