"Understanding
multiple sclerosis:
Is multiple sclerosis one disease? Is it primarily inflammatory or degenerative? What mechanisms underlie fixed and progressive disability, and can we expect one approach to treatment or many? There have been many milestones on the path of discovery, and Dr. Compston will discuss several from the areas of etiology, mechanisms, phenotype and treatment in multiple sclerosis. He will discuss new questions that challenge some of the old dogma and for which provisional answers might be suggested. Professor Compston, the 2007 winner of the Multiple Sclerosis International Federation's biennial Charcot Award for a lifetime achievement in research into the understanding or treatment of multiple sclerosis, has been the clinical lead in the establishment and running of the highly prestigious Centre for Brain Repair in Cambridge for over ten years. He is the author of over 400 papers, was instrumental in the editing and production of the two most recent editions of the most prestigious and highly regarded textbook on MS, McAlpine's Multiple Sclerosis (1998 & 2005) and is the current editor of the neurological journal 'Brain'. Professor Compston's innovative research has included collaboration with the NMR Research Unit at the Institute of Neurology, London. He has served on the grant panels of the UK Medical Research Council and MS Society, is a past-chairman of the Neurosciences and Mental Health panel of the Wellcome Trust (2001-2003) and a past-president of the European Neurological Society (2002-2003). He received the Sobek Foundation International Prize for Multiple Sclerosis Research in 2002. This meeting is part of the UCSF Department of Neurology's Robert B. Aird Visiting Professorship that was established in 1972. The San Francisco Neurological Society is very fortunate to have Professor Compston as our guest of honor at the 2008 AIRD Lecture dinner meeting. Welcome! Who Should Attend? Neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, residents and other physicians interested in research and clinical advances in the neurosciences.
This is an activity offered by a CMA-accredited provider. Physicians attending this course may report up to 1 hour of Category 1 credit toward the California Medical Association Certificate in Continuing Medical Education and the American Medical Association’s Physician’s Recognition Award.
