The University of Virginia will receive $238,794 from the Defense Health Agency under a Project Grant award to investigate the mechanisms of seizure-induced death in TSC model mice. The research, to be conducted from June 2023 through May 2025 in Charlottesville, Virginia, aims to further the Military Medical Research and Development program's goal of transforming military and public health through innovative biomedical research solutions. Specifically, the grant will fund the university's work exploring medical solutions for seizures on the battlefield by studying how seizures cause death in mice models of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), a genetic disorder that often involves epilepsy. Insights from this research could help protect the health and safety of military service members and the general public.
