Research
Epilepsy Foundation of Michigan is committed to helping people better manage their epilepsy today; however, we also recognize the importance of providing hope for tomorrow. A great deal of exciting research is being done to enhance our understanding of epilepsy, develop new treatment options, and eventually find a cure. The Foundation is proud to support this research through the following:
