Young Scientist Summit in Clinical Neuroimmunology - 2024

Young Scientist Summit 2024 participants and faculty must be logged in to ACTRIMS account in order to access this course's content.

The purpose of this Summit is to educate young investigators who do not have clinical training and are engaged in multiple sclerosis-related research about MS diagnostic criteria, clinical subtypes, epidemiology, neuropathology, and treatment. The long-term goal is to forge bridges between the bench and bedside that will help junior PhD investigators formulate research questions and projects and to seek collaborations with their physician colleagues, that are more likely to lead to translational advancements in MS. 

Attendees of the Young Scientist Summit are Master’s or PhD candidates, post-doctoral fellows, and early-career researchers engaged in multiple sclerosis-related research that are not MD/clinically trained.
