NeuroTalk Support Groups - ALS Research 101

ALS Research 101
Why is there no drug for ALS and how are we going to get one?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ALS Research 101 is a 2.5 hour session designed by ALS TDI staff to provide ALS patients and their families with:

- Awareness of the ALS research performed to date and insight on the new research techniques being applied today and the resources available to patients at ALS TDI and other organizations.

- Enhanced skills to partner with physicians in making well-informed treatment decisions.

- Insight into the biology of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

ALS Research 101 is also a great opportunity to connect with other patients and families in the ALS community, as well as with the ALS TDI staff members who are passionately working every day to find a treatment for ALS.
