PCDH19 Research
We are dedicated to vetting and supporting the most promising research.
We fund ongoing research into the PCDH19 gene and potential treatments, and every day we move closer to fulfilling our mission to find a cure.
Research Grant Program
The PCDH19 Alliance Research Grant Program supports scientists and clinicians working to advance knowledge and improve outcomes for those affected by PCDH19-related epilepsy. We fund promising projects across a range of disciplines, with a focus on studies that can lead to meaningful progress in treatment and understanding of the condition.
Alliance-Funded Research
Thanks to your generous donations we are proud to invest in the most promising PCDH19 Research around the world. These research teams are currently focused on understanding why mutations in the PCDH19 gene can cause epilepsy, autism and other co-morbidities of PCDH19 Epilepsy.
PCDH19 Alliance Conference
The PCDH19 Professional and Family Conference is a biennial international event focused on bringing together the leading researchers and clinicians to present the latest information, discoveries and treatment protocols. Families from all over the world attend to learn the latest and to bond with other PCDH19 families.
