According to Robert McBurney, ACP’s Chief Research Officer, “We don’t do the research, we create much-needed resources and capabilities that make MS research go faster and better.” We’re grateful for the many ways that our partners, donors and volunteers have given of their time, talents and resources to help us do this work. Together we are accelerating research for all affected by MS, bringing us closer to a cure. We look forward to new possibilities in the coming year. In Hollie Schmidt’s words (ACP’s VP of Scientific Operations), “There is always something new to learn, some new challenge to address, or some new breakthrough to celebrate. Much progress has been made in MS in the past couple of decades, and there is still much left to do. It’s exciting to be a part of it!” Stay tuned, and look for updates in future newsletters!
