Centre for MS Research
The Centre was launched two years ago with funding from the Multiple Sclerosis Society Scotland, following a donation to the charity by JK Rowling.
Work at the centre includes looking at how stem cells could help repair and prevent damage to the nervous system caused by multiple sclerosis.
The centre is part of the University’s MRC Centre for Regenerative Medicine.
