Epilepsy is a complex, often debilitating neurological disorder that will affect 1 in 26 Americans in their lifetime.
Since 1998, CURE Epilepsy has invested in cutting-edge research and filled critical funding gaps in foundational science to expand the understanding of the underlying mechanisms of epilepsy and help discover a cure.
CURE Epilepsy has raised more than $100 million and funded over 300 epilepsy research projects — more than any other non-governmental organization in the United States.
Working alongside a community of researchers and clinicians, they've invested in initiatives which have led to breakthroughs in the genetic diagnosis of epilepsy, potential treatments for infantile spasms, and a greater understanding of how to prevent sudden death in epilepsy, among other advances.
Research is our greatest hope of finding a cure, and each discovery brings us closer to achieving freedom from seizures and medication side effects for people living with epilepsy.
