We’re excited to be part of the new PLATYPUS clinical trial which launched yesterday at #MSResearchConf2023. PLATYPUS, which will test the efficacy of potential brain repair treatments in people with progressive MS, is an extension of the UK's OCTOPUS trial launched in April '23.

A busy week for our MS Research Flagship's Professor Kaylene Young (@LabGlial) in Perth, WA. First stop @PerronInstitute, then #MSResearchConf2023
Yesterday, we welcomed Professor Kaylene Young to Perron Institute, who shared a research seminar on her MS research and the work of the MS Flagship, based at Menzies Institute for Medical Research at the University of Tasmania to a group of researchers and students.

Congratulations @AlastairFortune, of our #MultipleSclerosis Research Flagship - chair of @ANS_Students for 2023!
Introducing our chair for 2023!
Alastair is a third year PhD student at the @ResearchMenzies. He researches the genetics of families with a high incidence of MS by using induced pluripotent stem cells and CRISPR edited mouse models.
