Postdoctoral researcher in Neurobiology Multiple Sclerosis

University Medical Centre Groningen (UMCG)

  • Groningen, Netherlands

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic progressive demyelinating disease of the central nervous system characterized by neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. Current disease-modifying therapies are non-curative and do not reverse progression. On the level of tissue, MS lesion progression is prevented by remyelination, a natural regeneration process after demyelination that is crucial for functional recovery and neur
