Bethan Lang PhD

Dr Bethan Lang and colleagues at the University of Oxford are investigating the role of abnormal antibodies in epilepsy patients with no identified cause for their epilepsy. If autoantibodies are found to be an underlying cause of some focal epilepsies, this could offer a potentially treatable cause of epilepsy in that patient and in the longer-term, identification of antibody-associated forms of epilepsy will aid the treatment, diagnosis and classification of these epilepsies.
