BEHIND-MS: Exploring the Link Between Epstein-Barr Virus and Multiple Sclerosis

Discover how the BEHIND-MS project is unlocking the mystery behind the connection between the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and Multiple Sclerosis (MS). This five-year European research initiative brings together leading experts to explore the role of EBV in triggering MS and aims to improve the diagnosis, treatment, and quality of life for MS patients. In this video, we highlight the project’s key goals and research activities, including the use of cutting-edge technologies to study immune responses, neural cells, and genetic interactions. Stay informed on our journey toward finding new biomarkers and developing personalised therapies for MS.
