Multiple Sclerosis

The National Virtual Multiple Sclerosis and Neuroimmunological Institute (IVSM) is the third born within the IRCCS Network of Neuroscience and Neurorehabilitation. The network includes 19 institutes of scientific excellence, whose expertise in both preclinical and clinical fields represents the basis for the development of new technological and scientifical skills for a better prevention, diagnosis an diagnostic approach to multiple sclerosis.
The network aims at finding new approaches to the cure of MS also with the use of preclinical models useful for the study of new therapies with fewer side effects and is based on an inclusive approach to patients. Indeed, national stakeholders such as AISM, AINI, SIN, are included in the network, as a guarantee for patients satisfaction and inclusiveness, which is the ultimate goal of the IVSM.
