Webinars

Between 2015-2020, the Epilepsy Foundation hosted a $1,000,000 SUDEP Biomarker Challenge that asked researchers and innovators to find predictive biomarkers with which to identify people at risk for SUDEP or life-threatening seizures which compromise cardiac or respiratory function. This webinar will review the proposed areas of work, discuss what was learned from the Challenge, and the future planned steps. Speakers will include Drs. Jeff Buchhalter (pediatric epileptologist and Adjunct Professor of Pediatrics, University of Calgary), Brandy Fureman (Chief Outcomes Officer, Epilepsy Foundation) and Kathleen Farrell (Vice President of Public Health and Outcomes, Epilepsy Foundation).
