Enrique Alvarez, MD PhD
Medical Director, Rocky Mountain MS Center
Director, Rocky Mountain MS Center at University of Colorado

Dr. Alvarez is a graduate of the Medical Scientist Training program at the University of Colorado Denver and completed his neurology residency and neuroimmunology fellowship at Washington University in St. Louis. He brings varied experience in MS and other neurological disorders to the Rocky Mountain MS Center at University of Colorado. He has a special interest in using biomarkers to customize treatments and patient care. He moved to the Denver area with his wife and two children.

Dr. Alvarez’s research interests and projects include retrospective chart reviews, examining how patients have done in clinic outside of clinical trials to better understand how patients have done with their various treatments. He is also expanding the biorepository of cerebrospinal fluid and blood markers in order undertake biomarker studies. These biomarkers, which can also include MRI measures, will hopefully allow us to decide on the right treatment for each patient that will maximize their health with minimal risk.
Dr. Alvarez also provides regular MS specialty care to patients at Denver Health.
