Webinar
Hi, I’m involved with AsianMS (part of the MS Society) and we’re hosting a webinar on Wednesday 9th November 2022 at 6pm UK time. The point of AsianMS is that as well as issues all MSers face, there are also cultural issues specific to the Asian community, but the webinar is open to anyone. Here’s a link to Eventbrite to register:

Here are more details.
In this second edition of Asian MS’ webinar series, we will be looking at participating in and designing MS research, with a particular focus on genetics of MS in people of Asian and African heritage. We will meet Ben Jacobs, who is co-leading the ADAMS Study with Dr. Ruth Dobson. The ADAMS study is seeking to understand how genes may influence the development of MS in people from different ethnic heritages. He will be joined by Sadid Hoque, who is part of the study’s steering committee and someone living with MS himself. We will also meet Anneesa Amjad, the MS Society’s Public Involvement Manager, who will be talking about the MS Society Research Network. This will be an opportunity for attendees to learn how they can help to shape and design MS research and research strategy. If you've ever wanted to know more about the genetics of MS or participating in/designing MS research, this is the webinar for you!
Thanks!
