Speaking of Epilepsy 2007 Launched This Week
September 21, 2007 1:00 AM
On September 27th, we kicked off this year’s Speaking of Epilepsy Series with a talk by Dr. Michelle Demos on the subject of genetics and epilepsy.
Dr. Demos is a neurologist and a clinical geneticist at BC Children’s Hospital. Her research interest is in the area of genetics of epilepsy and involves studying the characteristics and genetic etiologies of familial infantile seizures in BC; and examining the role of chromosome abnormalities as a cause of epilepsy in some children. Please look for her lecture to be available on this website in streaming video in the next month. You'll find this and other lectures in the Publications & Resources section.
There will be four more presentations in the current lecture series. You are invited to join us at the Chan Auditorium, which is in the Education and Research Building just north of the Children’s Hospital at 4480 Oak Street at 28th Avenue, from 7 – 9pm. Cost of admission is free for members, or $10.00 for non-members.
Please call our office or email us for more information, and mark your calendars early for the next lecture, which will be on November 13th!
