New Partnership Targets Multiple Sclerosis


New Partnership Targets Multiple Sclerosis

Dr. James Blank, Kent State University chairperson of biological sciences, discusses the use of high-resolution, three-dimensional imaging techniques to help diagnose and treat multiple sclerosis. Researchers and clinicians participating in a new partnership between Kent State University and the Oak Clinic for Multiple Sclerosis will study the size and shape of brain lesions caused by MS in the hopes of advancing treatments and finding a cure.   

Dr. James Blank, Kent State chair of biological sciences, and Dr. Ernest Freeman, head of basic research at the Oak Clinic and research assistant professor at Kent State, are co-directors of a new consortium that is looking for new ways to diagnose, treat and eventually cure multiple sclerosis. Watch this week’s video featuring an interview with Freeman, who talks more about the research partnership between Kent State and the Oak Clinic.
