January 2017
Category: January 2017
The Johns Hopkins Project RESTORE was established over 10 years ago as a collaborative multidisciplinary effort to advance our understanding of and develop new therapies for neuroimmunologic disorders (multiple sclerosis, transverse myelitis and neuromyelitis optica). In practice this has meant forging collaborations and carrying out innovative research designed to profoundly enhance our understanding of these disorders and to translate basic science findings into clinical therapies. By developing new treatments we seek to Restore Hope, Restore Function and Restore Lives to patients and families with these disorders.
As we turn the page to 2017 we are excited to launch our e-newsletter, written by our faculty and staff to keep you updated on our research and other activities.
