About Me
I am a neurologist physician-scientist who specializes in caring for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and autoimmune disorders of the central nervous system. I am passionate about finding better treatments for MS that will prevent disability and disease progression. I believe in providing a patient-tailored approach to help select the best treatment for that individual and help promote the best quality of life while living with MS.
My laboratory research is focused on oligodendrocytes, the myelin making cells of the central nervous system, and how they function in the context of inflammation and aging. Long-term goals of my research program are to find strategies to promote remyelination and repair and prevent neurodegeneration in relapsing and progressive MS.
I enjoy mentoring and teaching medical students, residents and fellows and have a particular interest in teaching around LGBTQ health. In my free time I enjoy being outdoors and spending time with my family and pets.

Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
As of 09/29/2023, Dr. Harrington has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
