Nancy Monson PhD

Dr. Monson, Associate Professor of Neurology and Neurotherapeutics and Immunology, leads a translational research lab at UT Southwestern where she and her team have investigated the impact of B cells on multiple sclerosis and the mouse model of MS (Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis.)
"People connected to the work of the Society know her, admire her, and recognize her as a thought leader within MS research,” said Shannon Nelson, National MS Society Regional Director for Individual Giving. Nelson nominated Dr. Monson for the Hall of Fame.
“I see this honor primarily as a shout-out to UT Southwestern’s focus on patient care, both at the bedside and the bench,” said Dr. Monson. “ Our job is to take what we discover at the bench and no matter how challenging, apply that knowledge to patient care." Dr. Monson was honored for her service and dedication at the Society Leadership Conference held in Fort Worth, Texas this month.
