"We are stronger together. Bringing different skills to bear on the same problem will ultimately help us figure out MS."
- Chris Power, MD, Co-Director of the MS Centre.


The University of Alberta's dedicated MS Centre demonstrates what can be done at an academic centre when science and medicine are linked. We bring together people with different areas of expertise, and MS researchers also work with patients in the MS Clinic. This approach:

  • educates medical professionals in all aspects of MS
  • expands opportunities for educators, researchers and students from diverse fields to collaborate MS
  • develops a new generation of highly qualified MS health care professionals and MS researchers
