It is highly unlikely that a cure for ALS disease will come until we understand more about brain development, motor behavior and circuitry. Project ALS
In 1998, ALS researchers worked mostly in isolation, often even competing against one another. Project ALS transformed this approach, recruiting world-leading scientists from different fields
Project ALS was the first organization to use stem cells to model human ALS; this practice is now used worldwide. Project ALS scientists also use patient stem cells to screen for drugs.
Project ALS forced a culture shift in ALS research; our first and most crucial breakthrough. In 1998, ALS researchers worked mostly in isolation, often even competing against one another. Project ALS transformed this approach, recruiting world-leading scientists from different fields to work on ALS together, meet regularly, and share data openly. Due to this shift, there has been more advancement towards a cure for ALS in the past 20 years than in the previous 100.
