Research

The MS Society is the biggest funder in Scotland of research into the causes, cure and care of multiple sclerosis.

Read about the research we fund

Our current commitment to research in Scotland is over £1.6 million.

Recent and current research topics include:


  • How best to grow cells which might be useful in repairing nerve damage

  • Identifying chemicals which are important in the process of nerve damage and repair

  • The role of viruses in MS

  • Support networks for carers of people with MS
Our future priorities for research will be:

  • Identifying environmental and genetic factors which make MS more common in Scotland than anywhere else in the world

  • Better relief of symptoms (starting with fatigue)

  • Cell damage and repair
