History of the Multiple Sclerosis Research Center of New York

In 2006, MSRCNY, an independent, private not-for-profit research entity dedicated exclusively to research into the cause, treatment and remedy of MS grew out of the former MS Research and Treatment Center at New York's St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center.

Together with our clinical affiliate, the International Multiple Sclerosis Management Practice (IMSMP), our facility devotes approximately 35,000 square feet to the latest in research equipment and technology designed to accelerate the pace of MS research, treatment and care. The close relationship of the research center and the clinical practice speeds the translation of basic science into clinical practice and helps to test new treatments for MS. Our unity of purpose, and an ease of communication between the clinical and research centers creates a unique environment that accelerates the pace of scientific discovery and advancement at minimum cost.

The Multiple Sclerosis Research Center of New York is supported entirely by grants and private philanthropy. MSRCNY is the only center of its kind in the world.
