An exciting talk by @AlastairFortune about #MultipleSclerosis-associated gene variants @AusNeuroSoc 2023 in #Brisbane with some beautiful IHC images! @UTAS_ @LabGlial @ANS_Students
Australian keynote presentation, Dr Nicholas Blackburn from @ResearchMenzies & Anna Ritchie provide unique insights into their partnership as a researcher and a consumer in The MS Family Study, a project examining the genetics of MS through family history. #MSResearchConf2023
Our team looks forward to collaborating with OCTOPUS chief investigator (CI) Prof Jeremy Chataway @mssocietyuk, @MS_Australia President @desgraham_msa, @MSWA_CEO Melanie Kiely, PLATYPUS CI Prof Simon Broadley @Griffith_Uni and others in the Australian #MS community on this trial.
We’re excited to be part of the new PLATYPUS clinical trial which launched yesterday at #MSResearchConf2023. PLATYPUS, which will test the efficacy of potential brain repair treatments in people with progressive MS, is an extension of the UK's OCTOPUS trial launched in April '23.
A busy week for our MS Research Flagship's Professor Kaylene Young (@LabGlial) in Perth, WA. First stop @PerronInstitute, then #MSResearchConf2023
Yesterday, we welcomed Professor Kaylene Young to Perron Institute, who shared a research seminar on her MS research and the work of the MS Flagship, based at Menzies Institute for Medical Research at the University of Tasmania to a group of researchers and students.
