Hilton Foundation to fund myelin  repair studies with human brain cells for the development of new treatments for  multiple sclerosis. This work is part of our overall strategy to build a comprehensive, non-competitive translational medicine platform for evaluating all myelin repair  targets identified in academic and industry laboratories. With this generous lead gift from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, we are now able to initiate sponsored  research studies that will advance the entire field of myelin repair in MS. We are delighted and honored to have the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation's support.
