Speaker: Chris McMurran, Academic Clinical Fellow, University of Cambridge
What key insights will you be sharing in your session and why is this important?
Chris McMurran: I'm Chris McMurran from the University of Cambridge, and I'll be discussing an important condition that always coexists alongside MS, which is ageing. We'll take a deep dive into the biology of ageing building from mechanistic studies up to human data. And crucially, we'll consider how the mechanisms that drive ageing can be modified and what future therapies might look like to boost remyelination, protect axons and prevent disability across the lifespan.
Why is ECTRIMS 2024 a must-attend event for the MS and neurological research community?
Chris McMurran: This 40th anniversary ECTRIMS Congress will gather thousands of people from around the world with one shared goal to improve the lives of people with MS. There are some fantastic talks on the schedule, and I'm looking forward to meeting new people building new collaborations. See you in Copenhagen.
