The University of Maryland's Center for Multiple Sclerosis Treatment and Research was founded in 1982 by the late Dr. Kenneth Johnson, one of the leading pioneers in the development of the early treatments for MS (glatiramer acetate and interferon). Our center has continued Dr. Johnson’s tradition of groundbreaking research while remaining committed to providing the highest level of diagnosis and long-term care for individuals with MS.
We work closely with patients, families and primary care physicians to develop treatment plans that help patients manage their conditions effectively and lead active, productive lives
The University of Maryland Center for Multiple Sclerosis is recognized by the National MS Society as a Center for Comprehensive MS Care and is a recognized member of the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers. The center is dedicated to continuing its role as a world leader in innovative research programs with the goal of finding effective therapies and eventually curing or preventing MS.
