UCL Annual Synaptopathies Symposium 2018

Friday September 14th 2018

About the symposium

The symposium is funded by a Wellcome Trust Strategic Award entitled "Synaptopathies: genetics, biophysics and circuit mechanisms of paroxysmal neurological disorders".

Epilepsy, migraine and related paroxysmal neurological disorders affect over 15% of the population, and account for an enormous burden to the individual and to society. Progress in managing these diseases is slow, with many patients failing to respond to available medication. Understanding the mechanisms will be an essential step, not only towards improved diagnosis, but also towards the development of rational therapies.

*This event is open to principal investigators, postdoctoral researchers and PhD students. A limited number of places will be made available to MSc students.*
