Award for a research project using PET and MRI to study cerebral inflammation and metabolic stress in relapsing multiple sclerosis, funded by NIH/NINDS with a budget of $231,872 for fiscal year 2026.
Description
The project involves PET and MRI imaging to study cerebral inflammation and metabolic stress in multiple sclerosis. The project aims to understand neurodegeneration processes in MS and their contribution to disability. It includes imaging of inflammation and metabolic activity before and after treatment initiation. The project is funded by NIH/NINDS under grant PA-20-205 for the fiscal year 2026, with a total budget of approximately $231,872. The principal investigator is Matthew Ryan Brier, Assistant Professor at Washington University.
