MS Milan 2023: Daily Research Summary Videos

MS Milan 2023 was the 9th Joint ECTRIMS-ACTRIMS Meeting, coordinated by the European Congress for the Treatment and Research Into Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS) and the Americas Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ACTRIMS).  As indicated by the event’s name, it was held in Milan, Italy, between the 11th and 13th of October, 2023.

This year, our co-founder, Brett Drummond, was once again joined at the meeting by Dr Travis Stiles, CEO of Novoron Bioscience and valued member of the MStranslate team.  Excitingly, for the first time, both men were also joined by Dr Joanna Cobbin, who has recently joined the MStranslate team as another skilled science communicator.

At the end of each day, Brett, Travis and Joanna sat down to share and discuss their individual insights from the conference presentations they had attended.  For ease of reference, each of these daily summary videos can now be watched below.
