1 week to go for the @Texas_Neuros 2025 Summer Meeting. Catch our great Co-PD @azher_aidan sharing why our program is amongst the best in the US! @AANmember
🧠 Peek inside @UTHealth_Neuro as Co-Director @azher_aidan shares what sets their residency apart. Great insight for #medstudents and #neuro hopefuls! Stay tuned for more program spotlights.
New paper on advanced missense variant classification from our team: Our para-SAME/DIFF extension pulls in paralogue evidence, expanding interpretable residues five-fold across all genetic disease. Great work by @BruengerTobias & team.

Great to have the preprint out showcasing our work on long-term VNS efficacy in SCN1A patients, particularly when considering anti-seizure medications as confounders. Looking forward to further studies such as this in defined genetic populations!

New pre-print from the team 🚨:
@SunanjayB & @AlinaIvaniuk explored gene informed neurostimulation!
We observe short term and 10 years follow up (!!!) efficacy for seizure reduction of Vagal Nerve Stimulation (#VNS) in people with #SCN1A#Dravet syndrome … ➡️
Please retweet 📢: Are you skilled in coding & eager to make a meaningful impact in clinical research? Join our large, friendly, & diverse team! I’m seeking motivated postdocs with strong coding expertise in R and/or Python. Details attached! @UTHealthHouston
Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to put pressure on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research
Day 2: After a long day of meetings, clinical assessments and critical discussions at and around #AES2024. Our team is enjoying the #SCN8A@TheCuteSyndrome conference.
While at #AES2024, our team is performing communication assessments, clinical grade neurological exams - all combined video, audio & wearables to objectively define genetic epilepsies. Todays focus, #SCN8A related neurodevelopment disorders and #epilepsies at their conference.
