ALS Research
With your support, research programs fuel global collaboration to expedite the discovery of treatments and a cure for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
ALS Research
Everything we do supports our mission of finding treatments and a cure for ALS, which is why it is so critical to fund outstanding ALS research. We have the premier ALS research program in the world.
Our approach is simple and has led to some of the biggest research discoveries in the history of ALS. We fund the best, most promising research around the globe, while inspiring... and initiating innovative partnerships across all sectors – government, industry, academia, and other nonprofit organizations – while funding bright, young scientists to spur innovation.
Thanks to the donations raised during the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, we are now spending three times more than on ALS research than before summer 2014.
Some of the things we're working on:
- 3 potential new ALS antisense drugs
- Key advances in wearable sensor and brain computer interface technology
- New treatment approaches in clinical trials
- Research Discoveries
