Overview

Alexis Arzimanoglou is affiliated with Hospital Sant Joan de Déu Barcelona in Spain and has contributed extensively to the fields of medicine and biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. Their research spans multiple subfields, including psychiatry and mental health, genetics, molecular biology, pediatrics, perinatology and child health, as well as cellular and molecular neuroscience.

Their main focus lies in epilepsy research and treatment, encompassing pharmacological effects and toxicity studies, genomics and rare diseases, genetics and neurodevelopmental disorders, neuroscience and neuropharmacology research, ion transport and channel regulation, and metabolism and genetic disorders.

They have published numerous papers in prominent venues, with frequent publications appearing in Epilepsia, the European Journal of Paediatric Neurology, Neurology, Epilepsia Open, and Epileptic Disorders.

Notable recent papers include:

  • "Seizure outcome and use of antiepileptic drugs after epilepsy surgery according to histopathological diagnosis: a retrospective multicentre cohort study," 2020, The Lancet Neurology
  • "The gain of function SCN1A disorder spectrum: novel epilepsy phenotypes and therapeutic implications," 2022, Brain
  • "Epilepsy and cannabidiol: a guide to treatment," 2020, PubMed
  • "The aetiologies of epilepsy," 2021, Epileptic Disorders
  • "Did the COVID-19 pandemic silence the needs of people with epilepsy?," 2020, Epileptic Disorders

Alexis Arzimanoglou has collaborated frequently with colleagues such as J. Helen Cross, Eleni Panagiotakaki, Gaëtan Lesca, Stéphane Auvin, and Kees P. J. Braun.
