Overview

Anthony G Marson is affiliated with the University of Liverpool in the United Kingdom. Their research primarily focuses on medicine, with significant contributions to psychiatry and mental health, pediatrics, perinatology and child health, genetics, neurology, and cellular and molecular neuroscience.

The scientist has a specialized interest in epilepsy research and treatment, pharmacological effects and toxicity studies, and neuroscience and neuropharmacology research. Additional topics of their work include genomics and rare diseases, functional brain connectivity studies, genetics and neurodevelopmental disorders, as well as neonatal and fetal brain pathology.

They have published extensively in several academic venues, frequently contributing to:

  • Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews
  • Epilepsia
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Seizure
  • European Journal of Neurology

Among their recent papers are:

  • The SANAD II study of the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of valproate versus levetiracetam for newly diagnosed generalised and unclassifiable epilepsy: an open-label, non-inferiority, multicentre, phase 4, randomised controlled trial (2021, The Lancet)
  • The SANAD II study of the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of levetiracetam, zonisamide, or lamotrigine for newly diagnosed focal epilepsy: an open-label, non-inferiority, multicentre, phase 4, randomised controlled trial (2021, The Lancet)

They have collaborated often with a consistent group of co-authors including Simon S. Keller, Paula Williamson, Michael D. Jenkinson, Adam Noble, and Catrin Tudur Smith.
