One of our own neurologists, Dr. James Stark, spoke at Grand Rounds this morning. His talk focused on the clinical associations of CSF oligoclonal bands. The discussion ranged from diagnostic and prognostic issues to the immunologic implications as to the cause of MS. 

On Wednesday, June 12, 2013, Dr. Saud A. Sadiq and Dr. Violaine Harris met with a congressional supporter of our stem cell program. Following this discussion, The Tisch MS Research Center of New York submitted additional information to the FDA on June 18, 2013 and requested a formal meeting with the agency in the next 30 days.  We will keep you informed on the progress through an update on this website in approximately 6 weeks. 

Beth DiBiase, Director of Social Work at the IMSMP, spoke at grand rounds this morning. Her talk was on the psychological impact MS has on our patients. The lecture was excellent and there was a prolonged discussion following, which involved every team in the center, from our administrative staff to physical therapy.

Congratulations to Dr. Sadiq for his neurology listing in New York Magazine’s 2013 Best Doctor’s Issue! This is a great achievement and acknowledgement of the hard work and dedication that happens on a daily basis at the IMSMP and Tisch MS Research Center of New York!
