Great presentations by the Reid lab postdocs, Dr Khaing Phyu Aung and Dr Lauren Bleakley, about GABRD and HCN1 Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy, respectively, at the Turbo Talks today.

Despite rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorders such as genetic epilepsies / DEEs being well suited to n of 1 trials there have only been a handful performed. N of 1 trials allow assessment of promising treatments in rare monogenetic epilepsies. #GETA2025

Join our Epilepsy public lecture this Wednesday March 26th to hear about how we are making a difference in childhood epilepsy research. @TheFlorey, @CureEpilepsy, @EpilepsySocAus, @epilepsy_fdn, @CureGABAa, @AmEpilepsySoc events.humanitix.com/public-lecture…?

Florey research published today in @NatureNeuro led by A/Prof Justin Rubio found that neurons located in MS brain lesions have a 2.5x faster mutation rate than normal neurons – providing clues for new treatment avenues for progressive MS. Read here: florey.edu.au/news/2025/03/f…
