About the Multiple Sclerosis Center

The Weill Cornell Medicine Multiple Sclerosis Center is dedicated to improving the lives of people living with MS through comprehensive, personalized care. We bring together leading clinicians and researchers to improve outcomes today while advancing treatments for tomorrow.

Our mission is to:

  • Provide multidisciplinary care that addresses the medical, cognitive, emotional, and rehabilitative needs of patients and families.
  • Limit disability and restore function through innovative diagnostics, therapies, and clinical trials.
  • Advance clinical, translational, and basic research to identify new multiple sclerosis treatments and regenerative strategies.
  • Translate discovery into real-world impact through collaboration across neurology, imaging, immunology, and genetics.


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.

Specialty Services

Patients benefit from coordinated care with specialists in neuro-ophthalmology, rehabilitative medicine, urology, neuropsychology, neuroradiology, and neurosurgery. Physical and cognitive rehabilitation services are integrated into care to support function, independence, and quality of life.

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.

Study Finds Lipid Mediator Associated with Good Cholesterol Promotes More Than Just Good Heart Health

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is often referred to as "good" cholesterol because it transports fat molecules out of blood vessels, protecting against stroke and heart disease. Now, researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College have discovered that HDL in blood also carries a protein that powerfully regulates immune function. Together they play an important role in preventing inflammation in the body.In the study, published June 8 in Nature, the investigators found that a lipid molecule called...
