The National Multiple Sclerosis Society-Wisconsin Chapter recognized
Aurora neurologist Bhupendra Khatri, M.D., in June with its 2009 Physician
Appreciation Award for his service to people with multiple sclerosis and his
research to treat it. Dr. Khatri has conducted research showing the
long-term benefits of plasma exchange for treating MS and how to counteract
a rare brain virus that is a side effect of an MS drug called natalizumab (TysabriŽ).
He has presented his research at the American Academy of Neurology annual
meeting, and he has been published in Neurology, an American Academy of
Neurology journal. He also was invited to discuss his research and
discoveries at the Wisconsin Science and Technology Symposium this summer at
the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.
