Please join us for this unique opportunity to speak with our MS doctors about the advances that have been made in multiple sclerosis research and patient care. Thanks to your generous support, we are even closer to finding a cure for this debilitating disease. Please click here to view photos from our past MS Forum & Expos

“The Nancy Davis Foundation for Multiple Sclerosis wanted to build a winning team in The Race To Erase MS so we sought the best and the brightest throughout the world to create The Nancy Davis Center Without Walls.” – Nancy Davis

Funded by The Nancy Davis Foundation for Multiple Sclerosis, The Nancy Davis Center Without Walls (CWW) program has provided support that has permitted the medical community to link together multidisciplinary scientific programs and expertise across the country to advance the understanding of the cause of MS and to develop new treatments. The Center is a break-through success because of the vision, insight and flexibility of these extraordinary doctors.

The Center’s theme is simple; communication – doctors working together toward a mutual goal. When this goal is reached, all will share in the victory.

The Center’s network of the top seven MS institutions that have established leading, innovative research programs include:

Brigham & Women’s Hospital, Harvard – Howard Weiner, M.D.
Johns Hopkins Hospital – Peter A. Calabresi, MD
The Mellen Center, Cleveland, Ohio – Richard Rudick, M.D.
Oregon Health Sciences University – Dennis N. Bourdette, M.D.
University of California, San Francisco – Stephen Hauser, M.D.
University of Southern California – Leslie Weiner, M.D.
Yale University School of Medicine – Stephen G. Waxman, M.D., Ph.D.

Through research supported by the Race, truly revolutionary breakthroughs in genetics and immunology have been made possible at the CWOW. These breakthroughs create the potential for the development of more effective drugs against MS and give promise for a cure in the near future.

I do plan to go, though depending on how long it runs, may have to head out early to catch my flight.

Thanks for the heads-up.  I might make my way down there.  You are going?

I am very curious to hear what these docs have to say about CCSVI.  Being such a hot topic in the MS world these days I'm sure it will come up, if not by the docs then by the attendees, and we are given an opportunity to ask questions of them.  Will let you know what they have to say.
