Exhibits
“The ultimate goal of research in multiple sclerosis (MS) is the development of interventions that can improve the lives of those living with MS and prevent or cure MS. However, understanding of the MS disease process is not yet sufficient to predict which therapeutic strategies will be most effective. While the new disease-modifying drugs are a major leap forward, they are not a cure, nor are they effective for all patients. MS remains a mysterious disease with no known pathogen.”(Institute of Medicine Report on MS, 2001)
This conference is sponsored by the Joyce D. and Andrew J. Mandell Center for Comprehensive Multiple Sclerosis Care & Neuroscience Research at Mount Sinai Hospital, a Saint Francis Care provider, in collaboration with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
