18th San Servolo Advanced Epilepsy Course-Bridging Basic with Clinical Epileptology 7: Accelerating translation in epilepsy research
The main objective of the 7th edition of the Advanced Epilepsy Course Bridging Basic with Clinical Epileptology is to train attendees to improve the critical competence necessary to design an effective research project/activity in the field of epilepsy. The Course is addressed to neuroscientists, neurologists and other professionals with a documented background in epilepsy research. Lectures on general and specific topics will be interspersed with interactive seminars, workshops, and breakout sessions where small groups of attendees and faculty will be involved in tutorials. The main focus of the Course is the preparation of a project on a subject defined and assigned by the Course Directors. Groups of 6-8 students are formed at the beginning of the Course; each group will develop a research project under the supervision of two tutors. The progress of the project will be evaluated daily during group discussions with tutors. Each research project will be collectively discussed and evaluated during the last day of the Course.

8th International Residential Course on Drug Resistant Epilepsies
The virtual course is based on two main educational study methods: there will be lectures from expert epileptologists and working groups with tutors.
Our Associate Director of Research, Priya Balasubramanian, PhD, will be sharing information on CURE Epilepsy’s research grant program.
The main topics that will be covered are:
- Semiologic characteristics of different types of epileptic seizures
- Utilization of Video-EEG
- Notions of anti-epileptic drug pharmacodynamics and kinetics
- Alternative treatments
- Role of epilepsy surgery, especially of the resective type
- Vagal Nerve Stimulation and Deep Brain Stimulation
- Focus on emerging genetic aspects of drug resistant epilepsies
Eilat International Educational Course on the Pharmacological Treatment of Epilepsy (9thEilatEdu)
This course is held under the auspices of the ILAE Europe. The program is designed for junior researchers and clinicians (45 years and younger) working in the field of epilepsy treatment and related basic research.
It is open to young neurologists, neuropediatricians, pharmacists, pharmacologists, neuropsychologists and neuroscientists. We are happy to inform you that a number of bursaries have been made available towards partially defraying the cost of accommodation expenses of bursary recipients, who will also have their registration fees waived.
The course will take place in Jerusalem, at the historic Mishkenot Sha’ananim complex in the picturesque Yemin Moshe neighborhood of Jerusalem, which is the ideal venue for this interactive postgraduate teaching program.
Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Mechanisms of Epilepsy and Neuronal Synchronization
Leading experts in synaptic, cellular, and circuit-level neuroscience come together to explore neural network synchronization defects due to genetic and acquired causes, unravel mechanisms of seizure generation, and design future therapies to improve the lives of individuals with epilepsy. The Epilepsy GRC will feature talks using cutting-edge technologies to advance epilepsy research. The program will focus on building a usable framework that embraces the emerging molecular, cellular, and circuit-level complexity underlying neuronal synchronization disorders.
The conference will consist of nine sessions, on the following topics:
- Complexity in Epilepsy
- Local and Long-Range Circuitry
- Cell Type-Specific Contributions to Seizures
- Synaptic and Network Homeostasis
- Glial Signaling and Epileptogenesis
- Developmental Circuit Refinement
- New Gene Targets and Therapies
- Oscillations, Rhythms and Network Dynamics
- Epigenetic and Metabolic Targets in Epileptic Brain
Applications for this meeting must be submitted by July 3, 2022.
