ACTRIMS Forum 2024 launches with Session 1: “Emerging Concepts in MS,” composed of presentations by ACTRIMS Young Investigators selected from submitted abstracts.
ACTRIMS demonstrates its ongoing commitment to fostering the careers of young investigators with an interest in multiple sclerosis (MS) through launching ACTRIMS Forum 2024 with Session 1: “Emerging Concepts in MS.” Composed of presentations by ACTRIMS Young Investigators selected from submitted abstracts, this session highlights studies that inform understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms in MS, introduce novel measures to capture disease activity, and advance treatment options. Each presenter will have 15 minutes for their presentation: 12 minutes for the presentation and 3 minutes for Q&A.
