What We Offer


Personalized, Multidisciplinary Care

Our neurologists develop individualized treatment plans using advanced diagnostic tools and the most current therapies. Care may include disease-modifying treatments, symptom management, and coordinated rehabilitation services tailored to each patient’s needs.

Nurses provide education and ongoing support related to medications, symptom management, and daily living with MS. Clinical social workers offer individualized guidance and help patients and families navigate emotional, cognitive, and practical challenges associated with the disease.

Research and Clinical Trials

Research is a core mission of the MS Center. Our clinical, translational, and basic science programs focus on limiting disability, restoring function, and advancing new treatments for multiple sclerosis. Patients may have opportunities to participate in clinical trials evaluating novel therapies designed to slow disease progression and promote repair.

Our research spans neuroscience, immunology, genetics, and advanced imaging, including efforts to better visualize axons and myelin and to develop regenerative strategies for MS.

Effect of Dimethyl Fumarate vs Copaxone on Inflammation in Chronic Active Multiple Sclerosis Lesions

Old MS lesions can be divided into chronic inactive and chronic active lesions. Chronic inactive lesions do not change over time. Chronic active lesions, however, continue to cause damage to nerve fibers. Chronic active lesions are characterized by the presence of activated microglia cells which are immune cells found in the brain. Researchers including me, at Dr Susan Gauthier's imaging lab at Weill Cornell used an MRI technique called QSM (quantitative susceptibility mapping) developed by Dr...
