This includes:
- Identifying the genes involved in inherited forms of the disease and studying how they alter brain function to cause epilepsy or “Epileptogenesis”
- Developmental biology and epilepsy
- The genomic response of the brain in mouse models of human familial epilepsy
- Identification of therapeutics opportunities to treat epilepsy.
