> new diagnostic and treatment
> methodologies. This program brings
> together the most prominent scientists
> from both clinical and basic research set-
> tings to discuss current progress in the
> diagnosis and treatment of multiple
> sclerosis. Topics covered at this conference
> will provide a comprehensive survey of
> specific laboratory and clinical issues
> within the context of four broad sessions;
> novel diagnostic procedures, experimental
> animal models, leukocyte trafficking and
> specific treatments.
>> This conference will be of interest to re-
> searchers and physicians involved in the
> study of multiple sclerosis, autoimmune
> diseases and other neuroimmunological
> disorders. The program is designed to
> encourage interaction between clinicians
> and basic researchers. The laboratory re-
> search and clinical findings presented at this
> conference will help to form the basis for
> new diagnostic and treatment strategies
