Dr Owen Pickrell is a consultant neurologist, an honorary clinical associate professor at Swansea University Medical School, and is part of the Institute’s Scientific Advisory Committee. Dr Pickrell’s research interest is in the epidemiology of epilepsy and its comorbidities, epilepsy and health inequalities, and epilepsy genetics. His research uses data from a wide range of sources to understand the causes, progression, and treatment of epilepsy. This includes the SAIL Databank, which connects a wide range of datasets on health and education, and the Swansea Neurology Biobank, which collects DNA, tissue, and blood samples from people with epilepsy.
