 HIGH THROUGHPUT 
 STRATEGIES FOR MODIFYING EPILEPSY\n
 HOST: JOSEPH 
 R. HAYWOOD\n
 A major goal in neuropharmacology 
 is to devise disease-modifying therapies 
 for chronic neurological disorders such as epilepsy. 
 We are using large-scale transcriptional 
 profiling of neurons thought to be involved 
 in the process of epileptogenesis to suggest 
 novel pathways and protein targets. We then 
 use high throughput screening for small molecule 
 modulators of these targets to develop 
 new reagents that can be used to probe specific 
 receptors in epilepsy-related pathways. The 
 successes and challenges of this approach 
 in academic laboratories will be discussed.\n\n
