Ending Progressive MS: A worldwide research effort for breakthrough treatments

Professors Robert Fox and Ruth Ann Marrie, International Progressive MS Alliance researchers and neurologists, will share what is being learned about progressive MS and the launch of important, new research initiatives that will fuel the development of breakthrough treatments for progressive MS.

There is an urgent need for new, effective treatments for people with progressive MS. Learn how the Progressive MS Alliance is driving three research priorities to meet that urgent need:

-Understand, prevent and reverse progression
-Speed up and improve clinical trials
-Improve well-being through proven therapeutic approaches

Beccy Huxtable will facilitate the panel discussion. Beccy is part of the UK MS Society and a project manager at the BBC. Following her diagnosis in 2012, Beccy spoke about her experience of MS on air and in media interviews, and was named ‘Inspiration of the Year at The MS Society Awards’ in 2013 for her work in raising awareness.

Becky will be joined by Professor Robert Fox, Chair of the Scientific Steering Committee of the International Progressive MS Alliance, and Professor Ruth Ann Marrie, Vice Chair of the Scientific Steering Committee of the International Progressive MS Alliance.
