In this episode, Dr. Daniel Correa talks with multiple sclerosis (MS) advocate, philanthropist, and founder of Race to Erase MS, Nancy Davis. Nancy shares her experience of being diagnosed with MS in 1991 and how having MS has inspired her to dedicate herself to fundraising in support of research for the condition. Then, Dr. Correa is joined by Dr. David Hafler, chair of Yale University's department of neurology and neurologist-in-chief at Yale New Haven Hospital. Dr. Hafler explains the science behind new MS research and speaks about the evolution of available treatments for the condition.
