University of Regina Associate Professor of Biology, Josef Buttigieg PhD, will be presenting on Using Greek Mythology to cure Multiple Sclerosis.
Many people are likely familiar with Greek mythology, with one of the more famous stories being that of Troy. Using principles in this legend, we are developing ways to treat Multiple Sclerosis (MS). MS is a devastating disease where the protective insulation around the nerve is destroyed. This leads to impairment of movement and, regrettably, eventually death. Saskatchewan has the highest incidence of this disease in the world, but the cause remains very elusive. Unfortunately current treatments are lacking. We are currently developing a therapy to treat MS, using the story of the Trojan horse as a guideline, demonstrating that both myth and science very much go hand in hand.
The event will be a webinar through Partners in motion.
