RealTalk MS Episode 13: The International Progressive MS Alliance With Prof. Alan Thompson

The International Progressive MS Alliance is an unprecedented global alliance of MS organizations, researchers, clinicians, pharmaceutical companies, and people living with progressive MS, transforming the landscape of multiple sclerosis. This week, we're talking about the work and the progress of the Alliance with Professor Alan Thompson, Dean of Faculty of Brain Sciences at University College London, and Chair of the Alliance's Scientific Steering Committee. 

 

We're also talking about a study published by Johns Hopkins School of Medicine that demonstrates how pursuing a healthy lifestyle can further limit disability and depression in MS. And we're discussing how a simple blood test may soon replace MRI scans to measure MS disease progression. We'll also tell you about a $4 million dollar innovation challenge to create next-generation smart mobility devices.
