The Epilepsy Programme at Beaumont Hospital is involved in number of research themes around advancing clinical genomics into patient care by performing whole exome sequencing in patients with epilepsy, including patients with unexplained epilepsy and learning disability. It has a broad research interest in genetics, including pharmacogentics and clinical microRNA biomarker studies. It has also developed a bespoke epilepsy electronic patient record (EPR) and has recently developed a genomics module within the EPR, which is used at our multi-disciplinary genomics meeting where sequence data is presented and correlated with patient phenotype.
The group also has a number of other clinical research interests including imaging, and epilepsy in pregnancy. It has a variety of active collaborations nationally and internationally, e.g., within RCSI (Prof. Gianpiero Cavalleri and Prof. David Henshall), with the HSE (Richard Corbridge and eHealth Ireland), with clinical colleagues around Ireland (Drs. Colin Doherty and Daniel Costello), and with genomics experts abroad (David Goldstein, Institute of Genomic Medicine, Columbia University, New York).
