TESS Research Foundation is determined to improve the lives of those affected by SLC13A5 Epilepsy. We do this by funding research, spreading awareness, and supporting children with SLC13A5 Epilepsy and their families.

Since 2015, we have gone from identifying the gene responsible for SLC13A5 Epilepsy to a gene therapy in preclinical development. We have awarded more than $2 million in research grants and are connecting a global community of scientists. We do this across countries because SLC13A5 Epilepsy does not know geographic boundaries. We do this collaboratively because it takes a team to improve treatments and find a cure. We do this with urgency because our loved ones are sick now.

We will have succeeded when all children with SLC13A5 Epilepsy can live healthy and independent lives.
