Multiple Sclerosis Campaign

BRAINN has research groups that work in studies on multiple sclerosis, seeking to understand the origins and progression of the disease.

At the State University of Campinas (Unicamp), the main lines of research are led by the team of dr. Alfredo Damasceno, who coordinates studies involving neuroimaging, cognition, biomarkers and immunology of multiple sclerosis. Recently, researchers have evaluated clinical and MRI markers associated with worse disease progression, potentially helping doctors determine the best treatments for these patients.

To celebrate World MS Awareness Day, we created a special landing page, according to the concepts laid this year by the International MS Federation. The page has educational videos, resources and a lot of information about the disease, both for people affected by it and for caretakers.
