🎉👏 Massive well done to our Belfast Marathon Relay runners who crossed the line in just under 4 hours. What a fantastic achievement! We had some last-minute team member substitutions due to injury, so a special thank you to Kate and Ricky for stepping in

🔬 Last month, our NI MS Research Hub team shared how the retina may help us better understand Multiple Sclerosis (MS). We presented at the World Sight Day & Pan-Ireland Ophthalmic Meeting in Belfast — a great chance to link eye and brain health to support people with MS. 👁️🧠 #MSResearchNI #WSD2025

Last week, Prof. Imre Lengyel and Dr. Lajos Csincsik joined the Eyes on the Brain meeting hosted by Optos in Edinburgh to explore how eye imaging and AI could help detect and monitor brain and nerve conditions, including MS. Thanks to Optos for the invitation and inspiring discussions! #MS #retina

In April, we launched the NI MS Research Hub at Queen’s Belfast. Huge thanks to all who joined - especially those with MS. Your voices made it special. With a strong team and lived experience at the centre, we're driving progress toward better care and understanding. #MSResearch #multiplesclerosis
