Overview

Rima Nabbout is affiliated with Université Paris Cité in France and has contributed extensively to the fields of medicine, biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. Their research primarily focuses on epilepsy research and treatment, with significant work in pharmacological effects and toxicity studies, genomics and rare diseases, and tuberous sclerosis complex research. Additional main topics include genetics and neurodevelopmental disorders, neuroscience and neuropharmacology research, and neonatal and fetal brain pathology.

The scientist has published regularly in several prominent journals, with frequent publication venues including:

  • Epilepsia
  • Epilepsy & Behavior
  • Epilepsia Open
  • Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases
  • Neurology

Significant recent papers authored by Nabbout include:

  • International League Against Epilepsy classification and definition of epilepsy syndromes with onset in childhood: Position paper by the ILAE Task Force on Nosology and Definitions, 2022, Epilepsia
  • ILAE classification and definition of epilepsy syndromes with onset in neonates and infants: Position statement by the ILAE Task Force on Nosology and Definitions, 2022, Epilepsia
  • Updated International Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Diagnostic Criteria and Surveillance and Management Recommendations, 2021, Pediatric Neurology
  • ILAE definition of the Idiopathic Generalized Epilepsy Syndromes: Position statement by the ILAE Task Force on Nosology and Definitions, 2022, Epilepsia
  • Prevention of Epilepsy in Infants with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex in the EPISTOP Trial, 2020, Annals of Neurology

Nabbout's collaborative work features frequent coauthors such as:

  • Mathieu Kuchenbuch
  • Nicole Chémaly
  • Ingrid E. Scheffer
  • Lieven Lagae
  • Nicola Specchio

Their research touches several subspecialties within medicine and biological sciences, notably psychiatry and mental health, pediatrics, perinatology and child health, genetics, physiology, and molecular biology. These subfields complement their main fields of study and help frame the multifaceted nature of their research activities.
