Learning Objectives
Overall Objective: To explore the potential for more effective, early interventions into the progression of MS through the patient’s experience with input from a clinician and scientist.

To understand the role of the immune network in neuroinflammation in the CNS and the periphery, how neuroinflammation drives disability accumulation across the continuum of MS, and how disrupting different parts of this continuum could restore homeostasis in CNS microenvironments and prevent/halt disability progression (Scientist presents data; Patient shares a personal anecdote about disability accumulation)
To recognize the early signs of disability in MS in the clinic, why clinically stable patients might be progressing (Scientist presents data; Clinician presents how to detect PIRA; Patient shares lived experience)
To understand emerging tools used to detect MS early in the clinic and the patient perspectives on current and future detection and monitoring strategies
