Genetic Epilepsy Team Australia’s 2019 Genetic Epilepsy Conference

The 2019 meeting on Saturday May 4th was a great success with over 100 attendees in person and hundreds more around the world going via live-stream. It was a great opportunity for families, researchers and clinicians to come together to hear the latest research in to genetic epilepsy and discuss plans for developing treatments for these debilitating conditions.

Thanks to our wonderful speakers and to everyone who participated in the conference. We look forward to working together with you to help find a cure for genetic epilepsies.
