Discover paths
to repair.
We study how neurological disease damages the nervous system—and how to measure, protect, and restore its function.
From biological discovery
to clinical investigation.
to clinical investigation.
Our work connects biomarkers, the visual system, and myelin repair to advance research in multiple sclerosis and related neurological conditions.
