Funded Activity Summary

I aim to decipher the role of heritable, genetic DNA variation in human neurological disease. I will use next generation genomics technologies together with sophisticated cellular models to address the important questions of the biology of epilepsy and intellectual disability in particular. I aim to develop a treatment for a specific type of epilepsy, which affects only girls from the age of 6 months. My ultimate goal is to improve the life of the patients and their relatives.
