About the Lab

Research that connects clinical evidence with better patient care.

Dedicated to advancing research in neuroinflammatory conditions, the Rotstein Lab is based at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto and is affiliated with the University of Toronto. We focus on understanding risk factors for disease and disease course in disorders of the central nervous system such as multiple sclerosis (MS), neuromyelitis optica spectrum disease (NMOSD), and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody disease (MOGAD).

We have a special focus on how these diseases present and evolve in vulnerable populations such as women and underrepresented ethnic groups. Our mission is to enhance detection, treatment, and overall well-being for people living with these diseases.

Location

Based in downtown Toronto.

The Rotstein Lab is located at St. Michael’s Hospital, part of Unity Health Toronto.
