SUMMARY:Webinar from Les Turner ALS Foundation: The ALS Exposome: How Environmental Exposures Inform Disease Risk and Prevention
DESCRIPTION:About the Program\nJoin us for our April ALS Learning Series with Dr. Goutman\, neurologist\, from University of Michigan. Dr. Goutman will discuss research related to how environmental exposures influence ALS. A Q&A will follow. \nThe Les Turner ALS Foundation is proud to offer this webinar at no cost to the ALS community. Thank you to the Gilbert & Jacqueline Fern Foundation\, Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma America\, & Biogen for sponsoring this webinar. \nAbout the Speaker\nStephen Goutman\, MD\, MS\, FAAN is the Harriet Hiller Research Professor\, an Associate Professor in the Department of Neurology\, Director of the Pranger Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Clinic\, and Associate Director of the ALS Center of Excellence at Michigan Medicine. After obtaining a degree in neuroscience at the Johns Hopkins University\, Dr. Goutman completed his medical degree at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine and his neurology residency and neuromuscular fellowship at Cleveland Clinic. He received a Master’s in Clinical Research Design and Statistical Analysis at the University of Michigan. \nInspired by his patients\, Dr. Goutman’s research focuses on identifying new mechanisms and therapies for ALS. Specifically\, he has been seeking to understand the genetic and environmental interactions that alter susceptibility to ALS\, especially in the State of Michigan\, which has some of the highest rates of ALS in the country. With funding from the National Institutes of Health\, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\, and the ALS Association\, he is discovering environmental risk factors associated with the onset and progression of ALS by collecting epidemiologic exposure surveys and biofluids from individuals with and without ALS. He shares an ultimate goal to one day make ALS a preventable disease. \nRegister Now
