ABOUT THE PRESENTER
Dr. Alvarez is a graduate of the Medical Scientist Training program at the University of Colorado Denver and completed his neurology residency and neuroimmunology fellowship at Washington University in St. Louis. He also serves as Vice Chair of Clinical Research for the CU School of Medicine’s Department of Neurology and brings various experience in MS and other neurological disorders. He has a special interest in using biomarkers to customize treatments and patient care.
Dr. Alvarez’s research interests and projects include retrospective chart reviews, examining how patients have done in clinic outside of clinical trials to better understand how patients have done with their various treatments. He is also expanding the biorepository of cerebrospinal fluid and blood markers in order undertake biomarker studies. These biomarkers, which can also include MRI measures, will hopefully allow us to decide on the right treatment for each patient that will maximize their health with minimal risk. Dr. Alvarez also provides regular MS specialty care to patients at Denver Health.
The Rocky Mountain MS Center's Conversations on MS series is made possible in part by support from Biogen, Genentech, Novartis, and TG Therapeutics.
