The objective of our multiple sclerosis research is to gain a deeper
understanding of the natural process of myelination and how multiple
sclerosis disrupts it. Through our research we are identifying therapeutic
targets that may restore the myelination process and effectively remyelinate
previously damaged areas in multiple sclerosis patients. Read
more about our multiple
sclerosis research. Register to receive research updates.
MRF depends on the support of individuals like you as well as corporations
and foundations, including the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Omidyar
Network and Biogen Idec, to name a few.
