James Salzer, MD, PhD, professor of cell biology and neurology at the New York University School of Medicine, received the Stephen C. Reingold Research Award following reviews of 222 grant applications sent to the Society. The peer review committee ranked Dr. Salzer's proposal at the top for its scientific merit and potential to benefit people with MS.
