Organisation
When we find a way to repair the damaged Central Nervous System and aid in potentially curing Advanced (progressive) MS — and we will — it won’t be because of any single person, research institute or foundation. It will be because of all of us, working together cross disciplines and cross organisations solving this complex puzzle to end MS for good.
Management Team
The every day work of the Foundation is carried out by our Management Team. Our team employs a group of scientific professionals with research and pharmaceutical backgrounds. We have a distinctive sense of urgency and efficiency and are highly focused on transforming the MS research landscape. We’re always challenging how we can advance research better and faster. Our people are determined, collaborative, and smart.
