Projects

Since we launched the Foundation in 2011 we have invested more than 1.5 million euros in research.

We partner with academia, industry and non-profit organizations to accelerate the development of new treatments for Dravet síndrome. Our projects range from diagnostics to drug discovery, preclinical and clinical research.
