Our Edinburgh Centre’s team of researchers is working to find effective MS treatments. And their work would not be possible without Early Career Researchers.

Researchers at the Edinburgh Centre for MS Research have been working hard to improve our understanding of nerve damage in MS.

Joy Amobi and Laura Khaukha recently interned at the UK MS Register as part of the HDR UK Black Internship Programme, which aims to address the lack of diversity in the research sector. They told us about their experiences and the value of programmes like this.

We spoke to Chris about his motivations for joining the Network and why he believes diversity of thought is essential for shaping meaningful research.

It’s common practice to start with less intensive DMTs when you’re newly diagnosed. But MS experts are now debating if we should start treating people with intensive DMTs as soon as they get diagnosed.

Every day researchers dedicate their work to investigating MS. But many of them also have a personal connection to MS. Dr Rachael Hunter and Dr Charlotte Spicer told us about what motivates them.
