Past Podcast Episodes

This week, I'm revisiting the proposal from the International Advisory Committee on Clinical Trials in MS that recommended adopting a new framework that leverages what scientists are continuing to learn about MS and redefines how we talk about MS, how we research MS, how we diagnose MS, and how we treat MS. This proposed framework holds the promise of taking MS care to the next level.

Professor Tanja Kuhlmann and Dr. Tim Coetzee

This new framework was first proposed in a paper published in November 2022, and last January, I spoke with the lead author of that paper, Professor Tanja Kuhlmann. We discussed why an international panel of distinguished MS experts was recommending changing something that has been in place for decades.

The following week, I reached out to the National MS Society's Chief Advocacy, Services, and Science Officer, Dr. Tim Coetzee, and we talked about how this new framework for describing MS would impact people living with MS.

We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!

RealTalk MS Episode 330
Guests: Prof. Tanja Kuhlmann and Dr. Tim Coetzee

Privacy Policy

The holiday season provides me with an opportunity to indulge in what's become a RealTalk MS tradition. I reserve the last two episodes of the year to revisit the most compelling and important conversations that I've had over the past year. This week, I'm revisiting the conversations I had at the Pathways To Cures Global Summit that took place in New York last May.

The Pathways To Cures Global Summit

The National MS Society brought together the best and brightest minds in MS research, the CEOs of major MS Societies, representatives from the pharmaceutical industry, and people affected by MS to update the scientific foundation of the Pathways To Cures research roadmap and set the global MS research agenda for the next 3-5 years.

I had the opportunity to speak with several of the top MS experts in the world at this meeting and, collectively, these are the conversations that have resonated with me all year long.

We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!

Happy Holidays! :22
