About |
CURE Epilepsy is a parent-founded, research-focused nonprofit committed to
finding a cure for epilepsy. Epilepsy is a complex, often debilitating neurological
disorder that will affect 1 in 26 Americans in their lifetime. Since 1998, we have
invested in cutting-edge research and filled critical funding gaps in foundational
science to expand our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of epilepsy
and help us discover a cure. We have 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 our community of
researchers and clinicians, we’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 we can 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. Join us as we
lead the search for a cure. Learn more at cureepilepsy.org.
