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

Really interesting talks in S24 from Dr Gemma Wilkinson, Professor Cathy Abbott, @CathyAbbottLab Dr Felix Chan @Dr_FelixChan and Professor Sanjay Sisodiya on the shared mechanisms of rare genetic epilepsies. #BNA2025

Enjoying Day 2 of the #BNA2025! Remember to come and chat to the @EpilepsyInst at stand 33 about our recent activities!

Huge thanks to all of our Early Career speakers at the @EpilepsyInst Symposium at #BNA2025 and to the attendees for their fascinating questions and discussion points

Nicolás Marichal closes the @EpilepsyInst Symposium at #BNA2025 sharing preliminary results from his Fellowship, aiming to restore inhibition through interneurons to prevent seizures

Post-doctoral researcher Kate Hills shares work from her PhD unpicking the mechanisms underlying seizure activity in glioblastoma-related epilepsy, with implications for research into epilepsy and brain cancer

Next up is @EpilepsyInst & @NATA_MRC_UK Fellow Prius, sharing data on the relationship between epilepsy, sleep and cellular stress, and exploring if modulating stress pathways can prevent seizures

Emerging Leader Fellow @AmyRichUCL kicking off the @EpilepsyInst Symposium at #BNA2025 with a talk on the development of a gene therapy to change neuronal properties, aiming to prevent seizures occurring and spreading

"I’m honoured to receive the #BNA2025 Credibility Prize — a recognition not just of my work, but of the power of collaboration and open science in driving more transparent, reproducible neuroscience." Congratulations to Dr Rob @LabWykes on this well-deserved award @BritishNeuro!

The @EpilepsyInst are excited to be at the #BNA2025 over the next three days! Come and chat to us at stand 33 about upcoming events and activities and how you can get involved with the Institute.

We are pleased to share our new Researcher Directory, featuring the Theme Leads of our six strategic research themes. This directory will be developed to include many more researchers working in #epilepsy and details of key methods used. We hope this will be a valuable resource…

🧵 A Westminster Hall Debate, led by @SharonHodgsonMP, will take place today to address the Government’s lack of progress or formal response, one year after the publication of The Hughes Report (@PSCommissioner). The report outlined urgent redress options for mothers and babies…

Registration now open. The Institute's Reproduction & Hormones Theme Leads are hosting a workshop focused on advancing research into Reproductive Hormones and Epilepsy. If you're interested in furthering your research career in this field, please join us in May.

🔔One week left to apply! The Epilepsy Research Institute is looking to appoint an early career Theme Lead to join our Neurodevelopment team. The Neurodevelopment theme aims to drive novel multidisciplinary research into the causes of epilepsy and its lifelong relationships with…
