Six areas at the frontier
of clinical brain research.
All research Acquired Epilepsy & Epileptogenesis
Predicting and preventing epilepsy after stroke and other brain injuries.
→Seizures and Dementia
Seizures as an early sign of neurodegeneration, and a target to protect the brain.
→Do Seizures Damage the Brain?
From slow atrophy in chronic epilepsy to rapid injury in status epilepticus.
→Big Data & Causal Inference
Emulating the trials we cannot run, on some of the world’s largest health datasets.
→Prognostic Modelling & Clinical Tools
Validated risk models, turned into calculators and apps that clinicians use.
→Quantitative Neuroimaging
Turning brain scans into numbers that change clinical decisions.
→From the lab.
