Research Opportunity: The Epilepsy Foundation of San Diego County welcomes your participation
in a research opportunity right here in San Diego for children with epilepsy between the ages
of 7 and 17. The UCSD Multimodal Imaging Laboratory is conducting non-invasive scans of the
structure and function of the brain in children and young adults with epilepsy.
When you volunteer to participate in clinical research studies like this one, you are making a
difference in the lives of thousands of families living with epilepsy. The data collected from
this study will help researchers to better understand epilepsy and move forward the search for
a cure.
The study has been reviewed and approved by the Professional Advisory Board of the Epilepsy
Foundation of San Diego County. For more information, please call Holly Girard at (858) 246-0291
