On International Women’s Day, we look at the disproportionate effects MS has on Australian women and the research MS Australia is supporting to address it.
MS Australia is inviting Australians with MS, their friends, family, carers, doctors, MS staff, nurses, researchers, and the broader MS community to join in the discussion to share which areas of MS research and advocacy are most important to people both directly and indirectly affected by MS.
Launching in mid-2025, the new Australian MS app InforMS is designed to help people manage their MS, creating a “one-stop shop” to hold their health information. People living with MS explain how lived experience has shaped its design.
As co-authors of a new scientific paper, people with MS spoke about their experiences of direct involvement in medical research.
Researchers and people living with MS have shortlisted antiviral medications targeting EBV for clinical trials in MS.
Researchers have found that higher levels of omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the blood are linked to a lower risk of developing MS.
