Congratulations to Dr Steven Petratos who has been awarded a project grant of $160,000 across 2016-2017 from MS Research Australia to investigate axonal degeneration in multiple sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects approximately 2.5 million people worldwide, and is an insidious neurological disease that can have a severe and disabling course. Currently, the best therapies can only limit relapses in patients but as these individuals age with the disease, they become vulnerable to progression.
