At Clinnova-MS, we often say that research is not just about numbers, scans, and scores, it’s about people. About every single person who walks through our doors and chooses to share a piece of their journey with us. Luh Simpen is one of those people.
From her very first visit to the clinic, Luh radiated something rare, a combination of curiosity, courage, and contagious positivity. When she arrived, she stopped mid-step, eyes lighting up at the bold Clinnova-MS poster hanging in our hallway. With a big, beaming smile, she turned to us and asked: “Could you take a picture of me and the poster?”
It might seem like a small gesture. But for us (Clinnova MS team) and for her, it meant something far greater. That photo wasn’t just a memento. It was a personal declaration: “I believe in this. I am part of this.”
To Luh, joining Clinnova-MS wasn’t just about contributing data; it was about creating visibility for multiple sclerosis, supporting future patients, and placing her trust in the vision of the University Hospital Basel. That photo marked her pride in being part of something bigger, a movement toward better treatments, better outcomes, and a deeper understanding of life with MS.
