ABOUT IC-PTE
The International Conference on Post-Traumatic Epilepsy (IC-PTE) will unite global leading clinical and preclinical experts in traumatic brain Injury (TBI) and epilepsy to focus on PTE, promoting crosstalk with the goal of delivering an actionable plan to achieve clinical trials that are aimed at developing preventative therapies and treatments for PTE.
Conference sessions will highlight the most promising advances in PTE research, including potential biomarkers of PTE, as well as examine challenges and solutions to preclinical and clinical PTE research with the objective of understanding gaps in knowledge and opportunities for collaborative steps forward. Additional sessions will discuss the development of an infrastructure for federated data sharing and analysis, as well as hot topics in PTE. Emphasis will be placed on incorporating the experience and needs of those living with PTE as well as the perspective of industry partners.
