Using Single-Cell Omics to Determine Disease Mechanism and Improve Clinical Management of Children with Epilepsy

Correct brain development is critically dependent on genetic and environmental cues and signals. When the process goes wrong it can result in malformations of cortical development and cause severe epilepsy, often requiring surgical resection of the affected brain regions. Exploiting technologies that allow the characterization of individual cells, Saskia, and her collaborators at MCRI are investigating how epilepsy arises.
