Catherine Lubetzki-expert on remyelination in multiple sclerosis.

Abstract

During her early medical training at Paris V University (Paris, France), Catherine Lubetzki developed an interest in neurology by chance, after a random selection process left her as the last in her year group allowed to choose a rotation—and she was left with a neurosurgery rotation in the department of Gerard Guyot, “a renowned neurosurgeon and a wonderful person. This was really the beginning of my passion for neurology”, says Lubetzki, who is now a professor of neurology at the Sorbonne University, and head of the Department of Neurology coordinator of the Multiple Sclerosis Centre at Salpêtrière Hospital (Paris, France).
