There is now an internal progressive ms alliance UNCONNECTED to big pharma After you get past the fact that progressive ms has been ignored forever, you may conclude this is a really good thing. Big pharma justifies the amazing price of drugs by leaning on the fact they do the heavy lifting re trials etc and has no desire to cure ms because it will impact profit This collaboration might move things along more quickly: there is funding for both research and infrastructure to enhance collaboration http://www.msif.org/global-ms-research/current-ms-research-areas/progressive-ms.aspxWho we are The Progressive MS Alliance is an ever-expanding alliance of organisations from around the world, with current managing members including the Multiple Sclerosis International Federation, National Multiple Sclerosis Society (USA), Italian Multiple Sclerosis Society, and MS Society (UK). What we do it The Progressive MS Alliance is working together to connect resources and experts around the world to find the answers and develop the solutions to end progressive MS. How we do it We will accomplish this mission by employing research strategies that connect partners across multiple scientific disciplines and that fund innovative and collaborative research world-wide.
