Presentation – Precision Medicine in Multiple Sclerosis

Precision medicine is a relatively new concept that has gathered considerable attention over the past 10 years or so. Within the context of multiple sclerosis (MS), precision medicine involves the use of genetics, proteomics, advanced neuroimaging, and biomarkers to accurately define the disease in individuals. In this way, the objective is to improve clinical outcomes by providing patients with specific treatment and care through innovative approaches. This presentation by Prof. Grigoriadis provides the background to precision medicine in MS and presents a roadmap showing how precision medicine can be implemented into the care and treatment of MS patients

Precision medicine represents the most advanced way that individual MS patients can be assessed and treated.
