Director of the OMRF Multiple Sclerosis Center of Excellence, where MS is approached with optimal clinical care and scientific innovation. Opinions are my own.
Innovative ways to assess disease status and progression in #MS is an unmet need. Proud of our team's work using eye movement analysis as a way to assess cognition and correlate with functional and anatomical metrics @OMRF https://t.co/PRYbHY2IqG
EBV is required for the development of multiple sclerosis, but it’s not known how a common virus leads to disease. 3 exciting new papers in @CellCellPress provide major insights into how this may occur:

Exploring longterm effects of early initiation of highly effective treatment as first line in MS; positive data!
Advocacy in action! Fearless Lea Campbell obtained -again- a Governor’s proclamation making March the #NMOSD month in Oklahoma. #MOGAD#raredisease @guthyjacksonfdn @TheSumairaFDN@OMRF

@pabear5@Brandon_Beaber@OMRF@AaronBosterMD@drbarrysinger@MSViewsandNews@WHO Sure! It is because there is no prospective cohort on rituximab followed in a controlled manner started shortly after diagnosis and with close monitoring. What this teaches us is the long term benefits -and problems- of using highly effective therapy early on. We learn!
So happy to share the day, knowledge, and experiences with 400+ patients and caregivers at Dr. Khatri’s Living Well with #MS and Other Autoimmune Neurological Disorders in Milwaukee. #NMOSD#MOGAD@OMRF
@GavinGiovannoni Farewell from the clinic …not an intelectual/science farewell. Plenty to sort out and happy to learn you will continue to pursue much needed answers. See you on the road!
@okudaMD Healthcare systems in US and globally must use medical providers , medications and infrastructure more rationally and equitably. We need to make an even bigger difference. #waste#healthcare
Have you ever wondered about the magnitude of new/unused disease modifying therapies for multiple sclerosis that may be out there? Retail costs for these specialty medicines are near $100K per year!
This is a before and after photo from 2020. Imagine for a minute what we have collected up to present day.
Enthusiasm for fixing the problem is low especially when compensation has already occurred along the distribution chain.
