Ep07 The beginning of the end of MS: Why the global initiative Pathways to Cures is so important
From The Raw Nerve · 00:24:39
Show by MS Australia
On the seventh episode of the Raw Nerve, co-host Rohan Greenland chats to Dr Tim Coetzee, the Chief Advocacy Services and Science Officer for the National MS Society and MS Australia Head of Research Dr Julia Morahan ahead of an important international summit to be held in New York in early May. To accelerate MS cures, the National MS Society is convening scientific, medical and public health leaders to contribute to the most promising pathways to cures and to cultivate global collaboration in pursuit of cures. MS Australia is proud to have joined with 29 other MS Societies, Allied Groups and Professional Organisations to endorse the Pathways to Cures roadmap. In New York, leaders, including MS Australia President Associate Professor Des Graham, Rohan and Julia will join others from the international MS research community to have an important conversation about where we need to go in MS research to continue this incredible transformation that we have seen in MS treatment over the last thirty years. Tim notes that “…now it's time for us to actually start focusing on, how do we stop this disease before it really becomes even more present than it is? How do we restore people to what they've lost? So how do we repair? How can we regenerate? And then can we get to a point where we actually can conceptualize a world where, when we say we have a world free of MS, it means there's no more new cases of MS?” Related links: Pathways to cure
