How epilepsy researchers are moving the needle past anti-seizure treatments

Pharmaceutical Technology

Gene therapies are an attractive way of targeting the underlying genetic mutations, but traditional approaches cannot be used while targeting mutations for Dravet Syndrome, forcing researchers to develop new ways. Meanwhile, others are researching the link between gene variation and different responses to treatments.
