The ALS Association Research Council
There have been dramatic advancements in our understanding of ALS. Important new insights into potential treatments have been revealed.
These achievements underscore the importance of The Association's TREAT ALS global research program and the impact your membership in the Research Council can make in the lives of people with Lou Gehrig’s Disease.
Through their gifts of $1,000 or more, Research Council members work right alongside our scientists as they push the limits of science, testing new drugs and developing innovative clinical trials, while ensuring that we continue to recruit talented and promising young clinicians to the ALS research field.
By finding it in your heart to become a member of the Research Council now, you will help:
- Identify additional genes linked to ALS.
- Develop model systems based on the discovery of new genes.
- Discover new biomarkers for ALS that will lead to earlier diagnosis, shorten the length of clinical trials and move promising therapies into larger clinical trials faster.
- Develop new drugs.
- Strengthen the TREAT ALS/North East ALS Consortium (NEALS) clinical trials network to ensure that more ALS patients throughout the United States are able to participate in clinical trials.
- Advance our understanding of stem cells as a potential treatment for ALS.
Yes, I would like to join the Research Council with my gift of $1,000 or more.
