In little over 2 weeks’ time, the MS professional community will travel to Berlin for the 34th ECTRIMS meeting. It’s the largest European conference focusing on MS research and treatment, and is attended by MS healthcare professionals, companies, researchers
and charities.
Similar to previous years, the Barts-MS team are
keen to get some of this new research out to you as quickly as we can, and also provide opportunities for you to get involved.
keen to get some of this new research out to you as quickly as we can, and also provide opportunities for you to get involved.
On Friday the 12th October, we will be broadcasting a Google hangout where Mouse Dr and Neuro Doc Gnanapavan will provide coverage of work that is presented in paper presentations, keynotes and posters.
How can you get involved in the Google hangout?
Read the abstracts – is there something you want to know about? Let us know and one of the team will find the poster or attend the presentation and let you know what the results are in the broadcast. You can let us know what you’re interested in by either commenting on this post, tweeting or emailing us.
The team have had a look at the abstracts and suggested a few sessions that may be of interest to readers of this blog – are we missing anything?

So which pharma is going to release head turning results for a partially ineffective treatment that u take for life and is a repurposed drug that is going to be marked up by 899% because the generic name label has changed? Any front runners?
Canbex results! Presumably not great if MD is still doing this…
Ha Ha, result out on 10th.
