Dr. Samuel K. Ludwin is one of Canada’s leading researchers and world-renowned for his work on remyelination and demyelination related to multiple sclerosis. When he speaks, people listen.
“We have reached a unique time of exciting opportunities in MS research. Now is the time for Canada to chart a new course towards a cure for multiple sclerosis,” said Dr. Ludwin, a researcher at Queen’s University and Kingston General Hospital.
Dr. Ludwin has agreed to lead a new project for the MS Society of Canada, one that will attract high quality researchers to work in Canada on a cure for MS. The project will also help to keep some of our brightest young scientific minds engaged in multiple sclerosis research here, building on the world-class success of researchers like Dr. Donald Paty, Dr. Jack Antel and Dr. Jock Murray.
Dr. Ludwin also believes that success in the lab must ultimately reach the person with MS. “It is vitally important that research always be directed towards the individual, whether the research is about lab science trying to find the cause, cure and treatment of MS or whether it is clinical or health research aimed at improving the prognosis and quality of life for people with MS and their families.”
