Research is the basis for developing more effective treatments for children with epilepsy.
PERC was established through a joint effort of the UW School of Medicine and parents of children with epilepsy. PERC draws on the broad multidisciplinary talent in the neurosciences at the UW and the Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center in Seattle. PERC's goal is to integrate the wealth of basic and clinical research expertise at UW and Children's, and focus on the special features of the developing brain. Through this collaborative research strategy, we believe that we can address the critical questions in pediatric epilepsy. PERC is the best minds in epilepsy research at the UW and Children's, pro-actively working together and sharing information.
