>   The exponential growth in our knowledge
>   of multiple sclerosis has led to exciting 
>   new diagnostic and treatment
>   methodologies.  This program brings
>   together the most prominent scientists
>   from both clinical and basic research set-
>   tings to discuss current progress in the
>   diagnosis and treatment of multiple
>   sclerosis.  Topics covered at this conference
>   will provide a comprehensive survey of 
>   specific laboratory and clinical issues
>   within the context of four broad sessions;
>   novel diagnostic procedures, experimental
>   animal models, leukocyte trafficking and 
>   specific treatments.
>   
>   This conference will be of interest to re-
>   searchers and physicians involved in the 
>   study of multiple sclerosis, autoimmune 
>   diseases and other neuroimmunological
>   disorders.  The program is designed to
>   encourage interaction between clinicians
>   and basic researchers.  The laboratory re-
>   search and clinical findings presented at this
>   conference will help to form the basis for 
>   new diagnostic and treatment strategies 
>   into the next century.
