Funded Activity Summary

I aim to cement my place as the leading clinical and translational researcher in epilepsy internationally. My research and that of my wider group is focused on the integration of high level clinical medicine, molecular genetics and cutting-edge neuroimaging, which is informed and enhanced by clinically relevant basic neuroscience. This integrative model is unique in the epilepsy field. The Fellowship will give me the opportunity to expand this model and optimally utilize the rapidly developing technologies in genetics and imaging which are the two most important and productive fields in clinical neuroscience. I am in a unique international position to do this because of the clinical cohorts that I have meticulously collected and characterized over the last two decades, working with the remarkable group of clinical and basic science investigators that form my personal research team, and the wider group that I head, supported by an NHMRC Program Grant. This Fellowship will provide for a major injection of additional core genetic expertise to take us up to the next level necessary to crack the challenging problem of the complex genetics of the epilepsies. I wish to increase the impact and reputation of my wider group as the International Centre for innovative and clinically relevant research in epilepsy. This will enhance the reputation of Australia as a place of excellence in health and medical research.
