Abstract
The presentation will provide an overview of the expanding role of genetic factors in epilepsy. It will delve into the fundamentals of this field and elucidate how digital tools and resources can aid in the re-evaluation of genetic test results. In the initial segment of the presentation, Dr. Lal will examine the advancements made over the past two decades regarding the genetic architecture of various epilepsy types. Additionally, he will present research studies in which he has actively participated, offering concrete examples. Subsequently, during the second part of the talk, Dr. Lal will share the ongoing research projects that focus on epilepsy genetics, bioinformatics, and health record data science.
