This Asian MS Series webinar will be joined by Rod Middleton from the University of Swansea, who will be talking about the UK MS Register and Professor Richard Reynolds from Imperial College London, who will be talking about the Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s Tissue Bank.
Both these initiatives receive funding from the MS Society and are key ways for people with MS to get involved in research.
The MS Register is a ground-breaking study designed to increase our understanding of living with MS in the UK, whilst the Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s Tissue Bank is a national collection of central nervous system (CNS) tissue samples donated by individuals with MS, Parkinson’s disease and related neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative conditions.
Professor Reynolds is also currently heading up the establishment of a brain bank in Singapore, which will focus on the collection of tissue samples from people in South East Asia.
Date: Wednesday 15 March
Time: 6pm to 7pm
