Interested in precision medicine in genetic epilepsy? Join us at the 4th international Dianalund conference on Epilepsy and learn where we are, and what is next! Tune in Thursday to hear Sarah Weckhuysen talk about KCNQ2-Encephalopathy.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the psychosocial and somatic well-being of persons with epilepsy worldwide. Read our paper to learn more: authors.elsevier.com/a/1cYWW5Qt1GuJ…. #InternationalEpilepsyDay #epilepsy #COVID19 weckhuysen_team

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Grateful to work with these amazing scientists. Let's celebrate with this beautiful throwback picture of last year and let's hope we can make another one soon. #WomenInScience #VIB

We are hiring! We are looking for a postdoc to join our team to work on Kv7-associated encephalopathies using iPSC-derived models. bit.ly/3pe1MNB

#KCNQ2 encephalopathy is a severe disorder of early onset seizures & developmental delay. For the first time Boets et al describe the adult phenotype to inform parents of affected children jmg.bmj.com/content/early/… #GeneticEpilepsy Sarah Weckhuysen Katrine M Johannesen Rikke S. Møller

Charissa Millevert from Sarah Weckhuysen group w/ @bobbykoeleman on #KCNQ2 modifier study (genetic, environment) to better explain phenotypic variability. #KCNQ2 is frequent so lots of potential data out there. happy to contribute #Leipzig patients where we have consent... #LEGOLAS

Charissa cont. w/ project on pre-clinical imaging biomarker of NDD in mouse model of #KCNQ2. Hypothesis is that neuro abnormalities occur early before onset of sz & can be detected using funct. imaging techniques 🔬 #LEGOLAS Sarah Weckhuysen

Another impressive presentation from Charissa Millevert 🇧🇪, on longitudinal, in-vivo functional and molecular imaging to characterize neurodevelopment from infantile to adult age in mice 🐭 #epilepsy #DEE #Neurotwitter Antwerp_university

Today the world hopefully colours purple. International Epilepsy Day is denouncing the stigma that still exist against people with epilepsy. Stronger together! weckhuysen_team Charissa Millevert Hannah Stamberger Matthias De Wachter @noorzonnekein Noor Smal Mark Kaji Nina Dirkx #EpilepsyDay

Have you always wanted to know everything about self-limited (familial) epilepsies? From the first suspicion through to genetic diagnosis and treatment. Read our new paper: doi.org/10.1002/epd2.2…. Sarah Weckhuysen International League Against Epilepsy

Excited to share our latest work! Check out how we increased prime editing rates using an EF1-a driven AIO plasmid. Big shout out to Wout Weuring @bobbykoeleman for the amazing collaboration! weckhuysen_team VIB Center for Molecular Neurology tinyurl.com/bdcs8rbz

🥼🧠Do you know "Genetic and environmental modifiers associated with KCNQ2-related disorders" Research Project? Do not miss the opportunity to learn about it on Collaborative Genetic Research webpage! epi-care.eu/collaborative-… #EpiCARE #EU4Health #HealthUnion #Research

Almost ready for our bike ride to support #STXBP1 research and to create awareness for rare genetic epilepsies !!! Sarah Weckhuysen @noorzonnekein Noor Smal Charissa Millevert
