Richard Chin studies the clinical epidemiological aspects of childhood status epilepticus and childhood epilepsy. His PhD at University College London focused on the epidemiology of childhood status epilepticus, demonstrating a higher incidence and common causes such as fever, resulting in higher mortality rates in children versus adults. His work has led to policy changes regarding ambulance services and national guidelines for the management of status epilepticus. Currently, he is a Professor in the Centre for Clinical Brain Sciences at the University of Edinburgh and the Director of the Muir Maxwell Epilepsy Centre. His research employs epidemiological methods to investigate clinical, biological, and socioeconomic risk factors associated with neurological and psychiatric comorbidities in epilepsy. Richard has established the largest birth cohort study worldwide related to epilepsy and is involved in novel studies to improve the early detection of problems in children diagnosed with epilepsy. He has received significant funding for his research and has authored numerous publications in prestigious journals.
