Huge congratulations to Kate Hills once again - thoroughly deserved! 👏 #EpilepsyResearchConference

Our latest published paper identifies urgent pre-clinical and clinical research priorities for Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy – #SUDEP. Every epilepsy-related death is one too many. Together, we can change that. Read more: epilepsybehavior.com/article/S1525-… #SUDEP #Onein100

Paper identifying the preclinical & clincial gaps in Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) research spearheaded by Epilepsy Research Institute . Division of Neuroscience GJBrainResearch Manchester Epilepsy Research Network UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology

What causes #SUDEP? How do we prevent it? We brought together researchers, clinicians, charities, people with epilepsy and bereaved families to map the gaps — and set the course for future epilepsy research. Read the full published paper: epilepsybehavior.com/article/S1525-… #Onein100

Each week in the UK, 21 lives are lost to epilepsy-related causes, many due to #SUDEP. To address this, we hosted a SUDEP workshop — the key outcomes, including research priorities and recommendations, are now published in Epilepsy & Behavior journal: epilepsy-institute.org.uk/eri/news/sudep…

The inaugural Epilepsy Research Institute Conference took place during National #EpilepsyWeek 2025, bringing together leading researchers, clinicians, early-career scientists and those with lived experience of epilepsy for two days of groundbreaking discussions and collaboration.

In our inaugural Entry Fellowship, Dr Francesca Chaloner will explore a pioneering, non-invasive brain stimulation technique to reduce seizures in people with #epilepsy and #Alzheimers. This could help develop a safe and accessible dual-purpose treatment. epilepsy-institute.org.uk/eri/research/r…

Dr Marisol Sampedro Castañeda’s Fellowship will investigate how rare genetic mutations affect calcium flow in brain cells, a key factor in severe childhood epilepsy. This could lead to targeted treatments that prevent seizures before they start. epilepsy-institute.org.uk/eri/research/r…

Through his Fellowship, Dr Robert Graham will study the brain chemical acetylcholine to identify patterns that increase seizure risk. This could improve our ability to anticipate and even predict seizures – a potentially life-changing breakthrough. epilepsy-institute.org.uk/eri/research/r…

Prof Sameer Zuberi's Endeavour Project will investigate whether a small biosensor attached to the chest by an ECG patch can detect breathing patterns, including stopping breathing, during and after epileptic seizures: epilepsy-institute.org.uk/eri/research/r…

Dr Craig Heath’s Endeavour Project will investigate whether men taking sodium valproate risk passing on health issues to their children. The study will provide much-needed evidence to guide safer treatment decisions for men with epilepsy. epilepsy-institute.org.uk/eri/research/r…

In his Endeavour Project, Dr Gareth Morris will develop a new genetic therapy targeting a molecule that disrupts the brain’s ability to stop seizures. This could offer a long-lasting, more effective treatment for people with drug-resistant epilepsy. epilepsy-institute.org.uk/eri/research/r…

Prof Andrew Trevelyan will study how seizures naturally stop, focusing on a brain process called cortical spreading depression. His research could reveal new ways to safely halt seizures and reduce the risk of SUDEP. epilepsy-institute.org.uk/eri/research/r…

Dr Edmond Shu Lim Ho will develop an AI tool to detect infantile epileptic spasms from videos recorded by parents at home. This innovation could speed up diagnosis, support clinicians and improve outcomes for babies with this serious form of epilepsy. epilepsy-institute.org.uk/eri/research/r…
