Mission Statement

We are a clinical and laboratory research group dedicated to understanding the nature and cause of childhood epilepsies in order to develop new interventions that reduce the impact of the condition.

Our research explores the genetics of epilepsy in order to improve the outlook for both diagnosis and treatment. On this website you will find information on our current research studies, research news and publications.

If you are a parent of a child with epilepsy, or a health professional investigating current research studies, this is the place for you.
