Explore our research

Our research projects take place across the UK. From myelin repair to diet and exercise, we want to help everyone live well with MS. And one day stop it altogether.

In 2012 we began a project to put people living with MS at the heart of our research programme.

There's never been a more exciting time in MS research. Find out about some of the most active areas of research, including stem cell therapy, myelin repair and progressive MS.

We're the biggest charitable funder of MS research in the UK. We only fund top quality science that will make a real difference for people with MS.

Since we were founded in 1953, we’ve invested over £227 million into research to understand, diagnose, treat, and prevent MS. Here are just some examples of how your donations have changed the lives of people with MS.

Our vision is for a world free from the effects of MS. And MS research will get us there. But research wouldn’t happen without the people who take part.

Have your say on the research that affects you. Join our Research Network, a community of people affected by MS who help design and shape our research programme.
