First-hand encounter with an MS patient inspired PhD student to pursue new therapies
By Doug Ferguson for uToday of University of Calgary
Finding out someone he knew had been diagnosed with a life-altering illness inspired Khalil Rawji to look for new ways to repair nerve damage, potentially helping people facing everything from strokes to spinal cord injuries.
“It was very difficult,” says the PhD student at the University of Calgary’s Hotchkiss Brain Institute, remembering when he’d first learned of the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS). “It was a real first glance into seeing the immense struggles that patients go through every day.”
