Background

Brenda L. Banwell, MD, is Chief of the Division of Neurology at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). She specializes in pediatric multiple sclerosis and other neuroimmune disorders.

“I have always been fascinated by the brain and committed to caring for children and teenagers living with neurological disorders,” she says.

Dr. Banwell cares deeply about the experience of children living with multiple sclerosis and related disorders. She focuses clinical time on speaking to children and teenagers and ensuring their views are heard. Dr. Banwell has broadened her reach by authoring social media posts, brochures, and online materials for children and families, and by participating in podcasts discussing pediatric care for children with multiple sclerosis and other neuroimmune disorders.

Research holds great promise for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, with 16 different therapies available and many more expected, Dr. Banwell says.

“Multiple sclerosis is rapidly becoming a very treatable disease, although patients require expert care,” she says.

Dr. Banwell is the co-director of the Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis and Neuroinflammatory Disorders Clinic at CHOP, a multidiscipline clinical and research program dedicated to children and adults with multiple sclerosis and other acquired demyelinating diseases.

“The program offers world-class care and leads in studies to advance our understanding of these disorders,” she says.

Dr. Banwell’s clinical studies involve using an MRI to assess the impact of these diseases on the brain by measuring brain volume and brain tissue features. She is also involved in studies of the immune system in children and teenagers with multiple sclerosis and neuroimmune disease.

Dr. Banwell is the principal investigator of the Canadian Pediatric Demyelinating Disease Program, a 23-site, 15-year study of acute demyelination in children from every pediatric health care facility in Canada as well as from CHOP. She holds a new National Multiple Sclerosis Society Grant to study the impact of marijuana on youth with multiple sclerosis. She and Dr. Bar-Or lead the Multiple Sclerosis Clinical Fellowship, funded as an institutional grant by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Dr. Banwell is also a co-principal investigator of the NIH-funded PENN NeuroNEXT award.

Along with her work at CHOP, Dr. Banwell is a Professor of Neurology and Pediatrics at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. She has more than 250 manuscripts published in high impact journals (including JAMA, Lancet Neurology and Nature Medicine), as well as over 25 book chapters. She has over 200 invited lectureships or visiting professorships nationally and internationally.

Dr. Banwell advocates for pediatric multiple sclerosis needs and research as the Chair of the International Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis Study Group, and as Director of the International Medical and Scientific Advisory Board of the Multiple Sclerosis International Federation.
