The Hermstad Legacy: Advances in Treatments for ALS

On February 4th, we invite you to join special guest and ALS research advocate Ben Stiller, foremost ALS clinicians, leading researchers, and dedicated patient advocates to learn how Jaci and Alex Hermstad inspired the team effort that led to the development of jacifusen – a novel gene therapy for ALS. Those familiar with rare disease know that little can be accomplished by working alone. A limited patient population demands that those in search of a cure share data, resources, and efforts. They know that collaboration between the medical community, advocacy groups, and industry is the key to success. Join us in recognition of the Hermstad sisters’ extraordinary contribution to ALS research.
