Dr. Ousman is a candidate for a faculty position at the MNI.  Dr.
Ousman's research focuses on the endogenous protective mechanisms in
multiple sclerosis.  Her research goal is to develop approaches that
limit the acute damage to CNS tissue and to prevent secondary damage in
chronic MS. She aims to identify endogenous protective molecules and
mechanisms in the CNS and immune system; to determine why the relevant
molecules or signal transduction pathways are insufficient to curb
disease; and to determine how their expression and/or activity could be
modulated to limit CNS damage.  Dr. Ousman uses MS samples and the EAE
animal model to conduct her studies.
