Episode 41: Becoming an MS Research Fellow with Dr. Elisabeth Mari

We talk a lot about MS research. And when we do, we talk about the "investigators"...the experts...the scientists in the laboratories who are expanding our collective knowledge about MS. But who are these folks? How do you become an "investigator"? And why does someone decide that they want to make MS research their professional focus?

My guest on the podcast is Dr. Elisabeth Mari, Director of Biomedical Research for the National MS Society. Dr. Mari takes us behind the scenes and walks us through the process of how someone becomes an MS research fellow. Then, we'll talk with 3 MS research fellows that I met up with at the American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting. You'll hear about the projects that they're working on, and we'll talk about what initially attracted them to focus on MS research. We're also talking about a new study that strengthens the link between Epstein-Barr Virus and MS, a biomarker that may indicate MS progression, a new Xbox adaptive controller for gamers with disabilities, and an opportunity for Hispanics and Latinos diagnosed with MS to participate in a clinical study. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS? ____________
