The MSBase Foundation is an independent not-for-profit organisation that owns and operates the MSBase Registry, a unique international collaborative registry for clinicians working in multiple sclerosis and other neuro-immunological diseases. The Foundation provides a freely accessible resource for combining, comparing and analysing large datasets to advance collaborative epidemiological and outcomes research for the benefit of people with multiple sclerosis and related conditions. The Registry, which began in 2004, holds over 122,000 patient records from 45 countries. Governance is provided by an international Board of Directors and a Scientific Leadership Group, and day-to-day operations are run by a team hosted by the School of Translational Medicine at the Alfred Centre in Melbourne. The Foundation also supports Registry members with data-entry tools, scientific support and an online platform, and is expanding into neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and MOG antibody-associated disease (MOGAD).
