The 8th Joint ACTRIMS-ECTRIMS Meeting 2020

The 8th Joint ACTRIMS-ECTRIMS Meeting, the largest international conference focused on Multiple Sclerosis (MS) research, was held in a virtual format from September 11-13, 2020, with a special encore session featuring Late-Breaking News and a COVID-19 Session on September 26.

At this virtual conference – MSVirtual2020 – world class scientists, neurologists, clinicians and researchers from around the world presented the latest research, clinical trial outcomes and technology and diagnostic advances in multiple sclerosis (MS).

Key topics included:

  • Cutting-edge research into the cause of MS, ranging from epigenetics and genetic factors, to defining the intricate immunological and pathological pathways that inform drug discovery and therapeutic interventions.
  • Radiological advances and machine learning approaches and how these techniques can help us better understand MS.
  • Biomarkers of disease activity and response to therapy, which is critical for the future of personalized medicine in MS.
  • The outcomes of recent clinical trials of new agents and interventions, innovations in symptomatic and rehabilitative therapy, and current research on MS and COVID-19.
