As part of our ongoing SUDEP Risk Assessment and Prevention Initiative, CURE Epilepsy is proud to announce a total of $750,000 in funding to three teams receiving a SUDEP Clinical Biomarker Team Science Award. The award is made possible through a lead gift from the Epilepsy Foundation as well as families who’ve experienced SUDEP.
The goal of the collaboration, which brings new researchers and disciplines into the epilepsy field, is to more effectively identify those who are at high risk of SUDEP and ultimately prevent this tragedy. A key outcome will be the development of a SUDEP Knowledge Base that will use cutting-edge AI technology to consolidate all research on SUDEP for use across disciplines.
