Strategic Objectives
Our objective is to explore the physiopathological mechanisms of MS, with the aim to identify new therapeutic targets of the disease and contribute to personalised patient treatment.
One of our strategic objectives is the study of the mechanisms associated with the changes that occur in patients with age and the progressive form of the disease, for which there are currently no approved modifying treatments. This is particularly relevant, since age usually brings a lack of gradual response to many of the currently approved MS therapies.
Research Lines
- Search for biomarkers that identify the best benefit/risk profile for different biologic therapies in MS.
- Search for biomarkers to identify the risk of progression in MS
- Immunological mechanisms that are associated with primarily progressive forms of MS.
- Association of antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus and clinical and immunologic phenotype in MS.
- Study of the response to vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 in MS.
- Study of pathological mechanisms in MS.
