Understanding ALS/MND Research

The following are resources submitted by Members of the International Alliance of ALS/MND Associations on the topic of Understanding ALS/MND Research.

ALS CANADA RESEARCH PROGRAM

ALS research is at a time of unprecedented excitement and momentum: there has been more progress in the last 5 to 7 years than in the last century. Many of the top ALS researchers in the world believe the scientific community is now poised to find treatments that can significantly alter the course of the disease, and that lack of funding is the only limitation standing in the way of effective ALS treatments being developed sooner rather than later.

ALS TDI WEBINARS

Each month, ALS TDI brings together researchers from our lab and others for a conversation about an important topic to patients today. These can be on a specific trial, an emerging technology, or a broad theory gaining notoriety in the effort to combat ALS. These conversations are designed to ask these researchers direct questions and to provide a place where YOU and YOUR family can speak directly to those working on your behalf at ALS TDI and other labs. These webinars are recorded, but we encourage folks to join us live as your questions and interaction with these researchers is incredibly important.
