Dr. Barry Arnason established the University of Chicago’s department of neurology and conducted research that led to advances in the treatment of multiple sclerosis.

Dr. Barry Arnason established the University of Chicago’s department of neurology and also was an expert in the field of immunology.

Born in Manitoba, Arnason grew up in Winnipeg. An immunologist by training, Arnason graduated from the University of Manitoba Faculty of Medicine — now the University of Manitoba College of Medicine — in 1958. He then spent several years in training at Massachusetts General Hospital before leaving the U.S. to work in France.

In addition to his research, Arnason saw patients at the U. of C, while also serving as the department’s medical director and overseeing its finances, U. of C. neurology professor Anthony Reder said. Among the foremost trials that Arnason and his colleagues worked on were the studies that led to the FDA’s 1993 approval of the drug known as interferon beta, or Betaseron, which is an immunosuppressive drug able to reduce flare-ups of multiple sclerosis.“We think this is the most significant development in the history of the disease,” Arnason told the Tribune in 1993. “What is the most gratifying to me is that it presents the possibility to MS patients of hope and a better quality of life.

“Some of us presented semi-scientific papers at our reunions. It was very obvious then that Barry had become an outstanding clinician and researcher,” Brodovsky said. “His presentations, which were to a very mixed audience of family doctors and various medical and surgical specialists, were lucid, scientific and with a touch of his wry humor which had certainly been present even when we were students. Even I, as an otolaryngologist, could understand them.
