EpiCARE is a European Reference Network funded by the European Commission and led by BRC-funded Professor Helen Cross.

The network will enable collaborative working across Europe to develop and deliver highly-specialised diagnostics, such as advanced structural brain imaging and molecular and metabolic diagnostics, and aims to improve treatments and outcomes in patients with rare or complex epilepsy. The network will be made up of 28 care providers across Europe and will run from 2017 to 2021.
