#20YearsStrong #SeattleChildrensResearch

20th anniversary celebration of Seattle Children's Dravet Syndrome Research program. The image has a portrait of Dr. Franck Kalume, PhD. A headline states "Leading the Way in Dravet Syndrome Research," highlighting Dr. Kalume's contributions to understanding and treating the condition at Seattle Children's.

The image contains text set against a blue background: "Turning Knowledge Into Discovery. Using insights gained over decades of research, Dr. Kalume and collaborators developed a precision gene therapy approach designed to address the genetic cause of Dravet syndrome. The findings, published in Science Translational Medicine, marked an important milestone for the field. The team’s discoveries revealed how SCN1A mutations disrupt brain function and identified new opportunities for precision therapies targeting the disease's root cause."

In a laboratory setting, an individual in a white lab coat is working at a cluttered bench filled with scientific equipment and colorful bottles. A text overlay quotes Franck Kalume, PhD, discussing research on epilepsy, emphasizing its impact on families. Franck Kalume is noted as Principal Investigator at the Norcliffe Foundation Center for Integrative Brain Research.

A person wearing a lab coat is seated at a computer in a laboratory. The text below discusses advancements in epilepsy research, highlighting Dr. Kalume's contributions, particularly in understanding Dravet syndrome, and mentions ongoing scientific progress for new treatment possibilities for children with severe epilepsy.
