Episode 109: On Becoming an MS Research Scientist with Dr. Anisha Doshi

I imagine everyone involved in MS research has their own reasons that make it important to them. My guest this week is Dr. Anisha Doshi, and Dr. Doshi's reasons are personal and powerful. Dr. Doshi will also update us on her current research project, and we'll talk with Dr. Doshi about the path that women face as they pursue a career in Neurology.     You'll also hear Atara Biotherapeutics Chief Medical Officer Dr. AJ Joshi discuss Atara's clinical trial aimed at mitigating MS by using lab-engineered T-cells to attack B-cells carrying the Epstein-Barr Virus.   We'll tell you about another newly announced clinical trial that's designed to see whether a probiotic will alter your gut bacteria so that it impacts your immune system and helps manage MS. And we'll share the results of the Global vsMS™ Survey of over 1,000 people living with MS.   We have a lot to talk about!
