In recent years, the National
ALS Registry was established to collect data on
ALS and provide funding for research to gain a better understanding of the disease.
A new National
ALS Biorepository allows researchers to request high-quality biologic specimens to study
ALS.
Biomarkers of
ALS were originally identified in 1965.
In 2013, entrepreneurs and
ALS patients Bernard Muller and Robbert Jan Stuit and Stichting
ALS Nederland launched the global Project MineE in conjunction with the UMC Utrecht Brain Center.

Inez de Greef, CEO of Treeway, is pleased with the collaboration and says: consistent with Treeway's philosophy of innovation by collaboration' we believe that this research will help us to rapidly advance breakthrough science and further the goal of bringing new treatment approaches to
ALS patients.
ISIS-SOD1Rx, which targets the best understood genetic cause of familial

At the event, the
ALS Association- DC/MD/VA Chapter was proud to honor Clark Construction and The Tower Companies for their ongoing support of the local chapter and its mission to provide care for people living with
