17th State of the art

Dear colleagues,

On behalf of the Swiss Multiple Sclerosis Society and its Scientific Advisory Board it is our pleasure to invite you to the 17th State of the Art Symposium. «Recent research developments: key tools to unmask MS» is the 2015 general theme that proposes a large review of some still unknown key aspects of MS pathophysiology. During the plenary morning session, international experts will present the most recent promising advances in different fields. Martin Weber and Roland Liblau will respectively explore the role of B and T cells in MS autoimmunity. Britta Engelhardt will discuss the major role of brain barriers in the control of the attack of the central nervous system in MS. Olga Ciccarelli and Manuel Comabella will review the best radiological and biological tools susceptible to help to unmask MS burden. Finally, Milo Puhan will present a preview of the National MS Registry, a key project of the Swiss MS-Society.

The afternoon session, with two sets of three parallel interactive workshops, will bring to discussion topics relevant to the daily practice. Speakers will present practical situations, and attendees are encouraged to submit questions and/or own cases by January 5th, 2015 at the latest (e-mail to [email protected] or to the workshop organisers).

Updated information about the Symposium can be found on the website www.ms-state-of-the-art.ch, where you may also register for the event.

In the name of the organisers and speakers, we sincerely hope that the programme meets your interest and that you will be able to attend and actively take part in the discussions.

We are looking forward to meeting you in Lucerne.
