The second event of the MSIF Research Alumni Programme was held on Wednesday 9 September at the Tulip Inn Düsseldorf Arena during the European Congress on Treatment and Research in MS (ECTRIMS 2009).

Sarah Phillips, OBE, Chairman of MSIF welcomed everyone to the event and Prof Alan Thompson introduced the speakers. Four alumni gave short presentations on their research and this was followed by a wine reception attended by around 35 guests including MSIF staff, senior scientists and experts in the field of MS from our International Medical and Scientific Board.
