🎙️ Day Three at MSToronto2026 – and it’s time to bring an extraordinary week of MS science together. For the final episode in our special MSToronto2026 podcast series, Jaume Sastre-Garriga, @ECTRIMS Executive Committee member, joins host Brett Drummond direct from Toronto. First, they unpack some of the key insights and conversations from Day Three. Then they step back and look at the bigger picture. 🔬 What stood out across the Joint Meeting, including at the Late Breaking Abstract session? 💡 Which ideas and developments could have lasting significance? 🌎 And as the MS community prepares to leave Toronto, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐰𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐮𝐬 – 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐨 𝐰𝐞 𝐠𝐨 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭?

Our special MSToronto2026 podcast series continues with Daniel Reich – the MSToronto2026 Lecturer – as he joins host Brett Drummond to reflect on some of the key takeaways from the first full day in Toronto. Then, we go deeper. What if imaging could help us connect the dots in MS - from disease mechanisms to networks to the person living with MS? Fresh from his lecture, Unifying Multiple Sclerosis: Imaging from Teams to Tissue to Biology, Daniel takes the conversation beyond the stage: • What can imaging reveal about the biology driving MS? • How is it changing the way we understand what is happening in the brain? • And where could the next generation of imaging take MS research? Recorded direct from Toronto, hear Daniel and Brett unpack Day One – and go beyond the lecture - with one of the leading figures in MS imaging research. 🎧 𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐰 – 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐌𝐒 𝐏𝐨𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐌𝐒𝐓𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐨2026. 🟢 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐲: bit.ly/3TV02hQ 🍎 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐞: apple.co/4ib2tEN 🖥️ 𝐖𝐞𝐛𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐞: bit.ly/4sh9DfB Featuring Daniel Reich, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), The National Institutes of Health. @ECTRIMS @ACTRIMS #ECTRIMS #ACTRIMS #MSToronto2026 #ECTRIMSPodcast #MultipleSclerosis #MSResearch #Neuroimaging #Neurology

🎧 New Podcast Episode: The Blood–Brain Barrier in Multiple Sclerosis — From Dysfunction to Treatment The blood–brain barrier is often described as the gatekeeper of the brain. But in multiple sclerosis, its role may extend much further. In this episode of the @ECTRIMS Podcast, Prof. Elga de Vries of @amsterdamumc and MS Center Amsterdam joins host Brett Drummond of @MStranslate to explore how blood–brain barrier dysfunction is shaping our understanding of MS — from immune cell infiltration and inflammation to disease progression and future treatment strategies. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐬: 🔹 What happens when the barrier becomes dysfunctional 🔹 Changes occurring in both white and grey matter 🔹 Blood–brain barrier-on-a-chip models and what they could reveal 🔹 The challenge of getting treatments into the CNS 🔹 Whether the barrier itself could become a therapeutic target Could protecting or strengthening the blood–brain barrier eventually help change the course of MS? 🎧 𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐧𝐨𝐰: 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐲: bit.ly/3UJxqrQ 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐬: apple.co/3SBmw6T 𝐖𝐞𝐛𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐞: bit.ly/3UJxpUO #MultipleSclerosis #BloodBrainBarrier #MSResearch #Neuroimmunology #Neurology #Neuroinflammation #MSProgression #CNS #DrugDelivery #ECTRIMS #ECTRIMSPodcast

🎧 New Podcast Episode: Predicting MS — Can Data Bring Us Closer to Personalised Care? Two people of the same age, with a similar duration of MS and apparently similar MRI scans, can experience completely different disease trajectories. So how do we predict what comes next for an individual? In this episode of the @ECTRIMS Podcast, Dr. Will Brown from the Cambridge Clinical Multiple Sclerosis Research at @Cambridge_Uni and Dr. Carmen Tur from @cemcat_em join Brett Drummond from @MStranslate to explore how large real-world datasets and predictive modelling are changing what researchers can ask about multiple sclerosis. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐬: 🔹 Why the biological and clinical heterogeneity of MS makes prediction so difficult 🔹 How large real-world datasets are changing what researchers can investigate 🔹 The challenges of missing data, non-random treatment allocation and defining meaningful clinical outcomes 🔹 How AI and machine learning could contribute — and why a good model still begins with the right clinical question 🔹 How underrepresentation in datasets could deepen existing health inequalities 🔹 What must happen before predictive tools can meaningfully influence treatment decisions in clinical practice The potential is significant. But as Will and Carmen explain, accurately predicting an outcome is only the beginning — the ultimate test is whether using that prediction actually improves care. 🎧 𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐧𝐨𝐰: 🟢 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐲: bit.ly/4xiC6mM 🍎 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐬: apple.co/3Sx5ZR6 🌐 𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐌𝐒: bit.ly/46pa7G7 #MultipleSclerosis #MSResearch #PrecisionMedicine #PersonalisedMedicine #RealWorldData #BigData #ArtificialIntelligence #MachineLearning #Neurology #Neuroimmunology #ECTRIMS #ECTRIMSPodcast
