MS-COVID Research Case for Support
Stanley Cohan, M.D., Ph.D., Providence Brain and Spine Institute MS Center, and Bernie Fox, Ph.D., Providence Cancer Institute, have developed a protocol to assess whether MS patients can mount an effective anti-COVID-19 response to vaccination if they are receiving medications that suppress or modulate the immune system.

MS Research Update with Dr. Stanley Cohan
Recently, Providence Brain & Spine Institute hosted a virtual conversation with Dr. Stanley Cohan about advancements in treating multiple sclerosis and the latest research efforts he and his colleagues are involved in at Providence.
Dr. Cohan created the Providence MS Center in 2001. Prior to that he was an investigator in the original, pivotal trial of beta interferon, known for the treatment of relapsing MS.
