To mark the 50th episode of the international MS Perspective podcast, I have invited my neurologist Prof. Dr. Tjalf Ziemssen to talk to me about the future of MS treatment. As he is one of the most innovative MS specialists, he can give a good overview of what is coming soon and which goals are still difficult to achieve at the moment.

Introduction – Who is Prof. Tjalf Ziemssen?

So the most important thing is that I’m the neurologist of Nele Handwerker. And by the way, I’m heading the MS Center in Dresden, so I have a long-term interest in multiple sclerosis. So I decided not to get head of a neurological department, but to really specialize quite a lot in the care and in the research of multiple sclerosis patients. And I think I’m very happy, because I don’t have to fight a lot with administration, with hospital guys, so I can really concentrate on the care of my patients and on research. And that’s, of course, I think, the nice thing of my life.
