  • Multiple Sclerosis and Neuroimmunology Group

    Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS). MS is thought to be mainly driven by white blood cells activated by recognition of self-antigens. Current therapies generally target these white cells non-specifically, without preventing progressive disability. More personalised, precision-based therapies are needed.
