More information

Dravet Syndrome Foundation Spain was founded in 2011 by a group of parents with children affected by this rare disease, a group of impatient patients who do not resign themselves to the course of this disease. Our objective is to facilitate, foster and promote the development of research in the environment of Dravet syndrome in order to progress in the knowledge of its causes, improve its diagnosis and find effective treatments to mitigate and eliminate the adverse effects of this disease.

We encourage all stakeholders in health and medicines R&D to join this conference: policy makers, academics and researchers, pharmaceutical industry and other sectors in healthcare, SMEs and mid-sized enterprises, regulators, representatives of other public-private partnerships and research-funding organisations.
