Description

This episode features a discussion about autoimmune neurological diseases, 
including the rare stiff person syndrome (SPS) that affects Canadian 
superstar Céline Dion. Our guest is Amanda Piquet, MD, associate professor 
of neurology and director of the autoimmune neurology program at the 
University of Colorado School of Medicine. Piquet, whose team is conducting 
groundbreaking research on autoimmune neurologic disorders, has treated 
Dion’s SPS for over two years at UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital. 
Piquet calls the $2 million philanthropic investment her team received from 
the Céline Dion Foundation a turning point in the understanding of SPS and 
other autoimmune neurologic diseases.
