OUR RESEARCH APPROACH
Research at MSMRC strives to make significant advances towards the prediction, prevention, and treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS). Institute scientists, with expertise in immunology, molecular biology, biochemistry, metabolism, neuroscience, and vascular biology collaborate in teams using a think-tank approach on joint projects to address recurrence, muscle weakness, fatigue, and neurological disorders in people with MS. Using this new approach we are unraveling new information about how immune cell-mediated damage can be prevented. Our hope is that our research will reduce the effects of MS and improve patients’ quality of life by designing new treatments and cures for the devastating consequences of MS.
WE NEED YOUR HELP
Our research programs are funded primarily by grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and private donations. These help accelerate the progress of research through the purchase of laboratory supplies and equipment or the recruitment of additional laboratory personnel. Thank you!
