Dr. Rhonda Voskuhl wins Rachel Horne Prize for Women’s Research in MS
Dr. Rhonda Voskuhl, a neurologist, research-scientist and clinician at UCLA Health, was awarded the inaugural Rachel Horne Prize for Women’s Research in MS for her work studying sexual differences in susceptibility and progression in multiple sclerosis and identifying potential therapies to improve outcomes.
The neurology professor and Jack H. Skirball Professor of Multiple Sclerosis Research is also director of the UCLA Multiple Sclerosis Program. Voskuhl describes her research as a “Bedside to Bench to Bedside” approach — taking observations made in clinical settings to the laboratory to investigate relevant biological mechanisms and then designing clinical trials.
