🎉 Huge congrats to Nira for winning Best Postdoctoral Research Talk at the Irish Society of Immunology Conference in Galway! 👏

She presented exciting work on how the brain repairs itself in MS, highlighting immune receptors that support remyelination.

🔬 Last month, our NI MS Research Hub team shared how the retina may help us better understand Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

We presented at the World Sight Day & Pan-Ireland Ophthalmic Meeting in Belfast — a great chance to link eye and brain health to support people with MS. 👁️🧠

Last week, Prof. Imre Lengyel and Dr. Lajos Csincsik joined the Eyes on the Brain meeting hosted by Optos in Edinburgh to explore how eye imaging and AI could help detect and monitor brain and nerve conditions, including MS. Thanks to Optos for the invitation and inspiring discussions!

Earlier this month, we trained on the new M2OCT at the NI Clinical Research Facility-thanks to Imagine Eyes! This hi-res tech will boost eye research in MS, glaucoma, Alzheimer’s & more, led by Queen’s University Belfast. Thanks to our funders incl. Jules Thorn Trust & iREACH Health! #MSResearchNI

At AIMSRN2025, our team highlighted why the eye matters in MS research. Catch up on the talks via the YouTube links below - worth a watch!
