Multiple sclerosis and neuroimmunology
In conditions like multiple sclerosis, the body's own immune system attacks the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Treating these diseases well requires a specialist who follows the science closely — because the science is moving fast, and today's therapies can change the course of the disease in ways that weren't possible a generation ago.
Dr. Dalia Abou Zeki is that specialist at Design Neuroscience Center. She completed fellowship training in neuroimmunology at UMass Chan Medical School and received a training award from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. She cares for patients with MS and related autoimmune and inflammatory conditions of the nervous system, building long-term treatment plans that draw on the full range of modern therapies, including infusion-based medications available through DNC's neuroimmunology program.
Her research keeps her at the front edge of the field: she co-authored a 2024 study using cerebrospinal-fluid proteomics — a detailed analysis of proteins in spinal fluid — to better understand multiple sclerosis in patients who have not yet started treatment.
