A Multidisciplinary Approach to Study the Role of the Gut Microbiome in Relapsing and Progressive MS

Abstract

We have completed recruitment of all subjects. We are currently processing samples for sequencing and genotyping in order to complete the project in September of 2019.On the experimental side, a group of 24 germ-free mice was colonized with human microbiota and EAE was induced. Two additional experiments to replicate these initial findings are ongoing. The project is both scientifically and financially on track.
