Executive Director and Infection and Immunity Theme Leader, South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute

"The work of the AEP directly aligns with the aspirations of SAHMRI. Namely, research that delivers the right interventions, to the right people, at the right time in their lives to optimise health; is translational and delivers health outcomes with global impact to communities. This  project provides a focus to fundamentally change the way epilepsy is diagnosed, managed and treated for all Australians: to create a life without seizures."

MICHAEL SHAW

Managing Director, Siemens Healthineers

"The AEP enables the strong scientific collaboration between Siemens Healthineers and the Florey institute to continue in our research and translation into medical technology to ultimately shift the current paradigm in Epilepsy. It is only by expanding precision medicine that we offer a greater human impact. That is why the AEP is so essential."
