 Webinar: Transforming Data into Seizure Control with Learning Healthcare Systems
Doctors, researchers, patients, and families are collaborating to create a pediatric “learning healthcare system” in order to improve outcomes in children with epilepsy. In our webinar on Thursday, May 14 at 12:00PM CT, discover how this comprehensive, data-driven approach could lead to better guidelines, more consistent treatment, and increased seizure freedom for children.
Our Leaders in Epilepsy Research Webinar Series is made possible by the generous support of the BAND Foundation. |
Donate Now: Increased Tax Benefits in 2020
Learn More
The Coronavirus Aid Relief and Security Act (CARES Act) recently passed by Congress includes a new universal tax deduction for qualified charitable contributions in 2020. Individuals and corporations may now receive increased tax benefits when they support nonprofit organizations such as CURE, even if they claim the standard tax deduction. Your donations advance our mission and support the research we fund, and now your contribution may also lower your taxes. Please consider taking advantage of this win-win! |
CURE Discovery: “Big Data” Approach Identifies Protein that Protects Against Epileptogenesis
Learn More
Dr. Avtar Roopra and his team used a “big data” approach to understand how epilepsy develops following an initial “insult” to the brain. To do so, the team analyzed an astronomical amount of data to identify a protein called EZH2, which determines when thousands of genes are “turned on” or “turned off”. These findings suggest that this protein may protect the brain from seizures and epilepsy. |
