Brief description About 1% of the World�s population suffers from epilepsy; 30% fail to respond to anti-epileptic drugs (AED). Current AED development pathways have changed little in the past 20 years with the majority of current AEDs dampening the release of crucial chemical signals 24/7. Our new drugs, which inhibit a protein called dynamin, are only recruited at the onset of a seizure. Our approach will significantly enhance the day to day lives of those afflicted by epilepsy.
