Professor Scheffer and her collaborators lead the world in the discovery of the genetic causes of epilepsy. She will continue to identify new and refine known epilepsy syndromes and develop the classification of the epilepsies. Together with molecular colleagues, she will continue to discover the underlying genes causing this debilitating disorder leading to novel insights into the neurobiology. Her work may lead to new treatments and improve outcomes for people for epilepsy.

Scheffer教授和她的合作者在发现癫痫的遗传原因方面引领世界。她将继续确定新的和完善已知的癫痫综合征和发展癫痫的分类。她将与分子同事一起继续发现导致这种衰弱性疾病的潜在基因，从而对神经生物学产生新的见解。她的工作可能会导致新的治疗方法，并改善癫痫患者的预后。
