Massachusetts General Hospital and iConquer MS surveyed more than 1,000 people living with MS about the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their daily lives. We're among the first to hear the survey results from investigator Dr. Farrah Mateen and Hollie Schmidt.
MS research is about to take a quantum leap forward. We're talking about how the MULTI-ACT patient engagement roadmap will change the face of MS research and involve people affected by MS in ways that they've never been involved in research before.
And we'll share new data from an ongoing clinical trial that's evaluating a cutting-edge cell therapy designed to eliminate B-cells carrying the Epstein-Barr virus. (Many experts believe that eliminating the Epstein-Barr virus Barr virus might eliminate most multiple sclerosis.)
We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!
