Speaker	Prof. Dr. med. Roland Martin, ETHZurich Bio: The Department of Neuroimmunology and MS Research (nims) at the Neurology Clinic combines one of the largest MS clinics in Switzerland with several research groups that pursue clinical, translational and basic research in MS and neuroimmunology. The focus of our research is to understand better the disease heterogeneity of MS using imaging techniques (MRI and optical coherence tomography, OCT), biological markers and motor function. In the laboratory we examine disease mechanisms of MS with particular focus on cellular immunology and biochemistry. We strive at developing new treatments particularly in areas of unmet medical needs of MS such as neuroprotection, induction of tolerance and regenerative therapies.
