Episode 120: Closing Out 2019 with Prof. Gavin Giovannoni

Is MS preventable? Is progressive MS modifiable? We'll tackle these questions and more with my guest, Professor Gavin Giovannoni. Professor Giovannoni is not only a leading academic neurologist based at Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, Queen Mary University London, he's also a prolific blogger, tweeter, speaker, author, and opinion leader. It's a conversation you don't want to miss!   We're also taking a look back at the major MS news stories of 2019. We're talking about new disease-modifying therapies, stem cell therapy (both the legitimate and the less-than-legitimate variety), MS biomarkers, the skyrocketing cost of MS prescription medications (and what's being done about it), the nearly one million families living with MS in the United States, and more!   We have a lot to talk about!
