Research Grant

Brief description We will study the clinical, genetic and psychological aspects of patients with the most severe group of epilepsies, the Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathies (DEEs). We will define the clinical spectrum of each genetic DEE, improve health outcomes through understanding the natural history of these diseases, build an integrated model of care, produce family resources and assess health economic impacts. This program will ensure Australia is poised for emerging Precision Medicine trials.
