Dr George Robertson and trainee, Gracious Kasheke attended the recent endMS conference in Toronto, where Gracious presented a poster. This is the 6th endMS Conference – the largest scientific meeting focused on multiple sclerosis (MS) in Canada.

The endMS Conference highlighted MS research that is providing a better understanding of disease mechanisms, potential new treatments, and other emerging research.

Gracious is a fourth year doctoral student in the Department of Pharmacology at Dalhousie University, and his supervisor, Dr. George S. Robertson, a Professor in the Departments of Psychiatry and Pharmacology at Dalhousie University, are shown in front of their poster at this meeting.
