About us

The Pediatric Neurology Research group is mainly involved in the study of genetic diseases of the developing nervous system. The main emphasis is on paroxysmal neurological disorders, movement disorders and neuromuscular diseases. A common theme across the different projects, besides the identification of the molecular basis of several of these rare disorders, is the investigation of molecules involved in their pathophysiological mechanisms and the effective translation of these findings into the fields of molecular diagnosis, genetic counselling and newly developed gene or drug therapies. Moreover, we are interested in the deep phenotyping and developing of clinical rating scales of theses disorders.
