Overview: The Accelerated Cure Project (ACP) Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Biorepository is a strategic initiative for identifying the causes and mechanisms of multiple sclerosis and accelerating breakthroughs in curing MS. With samples and associated clinical and epidemiological data collected from more than 2,400 cases and controls, this open-access biorepository is enabling groundbreaking research into the many unanswered questions about MS. Equally important, ACP is combining the experimental data sets from all repository-based studies into a central database for sharing and integrated analysis of results. The biorepository is an important platform for collaborative research and an instrumental resource for data-driven investigations of complex questions in MS.
