Whether it is discovering a therapy that could work for an individual patient faster or finding new ways to treat the root cause of a disease, at UCB, we are committed to continuing to unlock the science to improve the lives of patients.

At UCB, we strive to discover and deliver new solutions patients value. Whether it’s through leveraging big data, thinking outside the box to overcome barriers, or collaborating with others in the healthcare industry—initiatives across UCB are at the forefront of research, and recently, our experts have been in the news talking about what we’re working on.

UCB is pleased to announce 32 recipients were awarded the 2018 UCB Family Epilepsy Scholarship. This year’s winners are beginning their academic year at 31 schools across the country where awards will support their undergraduate or graduate education. Hailing from 17 states, this diverse group of passionate advocates includes people living with epilepsy or caregiving for someone living with epilepsy, including parents and siblings.

As one of the first winners of the UCB Family Epilepsy Scholarship, Maria reflects on the goals, choices, and experiences that have shaped her ever-evolving career in science.
