  What Research Should Be Focused On?

  Posted by Amanda on May 18, 2022 at 7:17 am

  ALS research is important to all of us in the ALS community. I know we all would agree that finding a cure for ALS would be our top research wish. We also know that ALS is what I refer to as a “catch-all” term, meaning that there may be different causes that lead to what is diagnosed as ALS. Outside of finding a cure (as I said, that’s our number 1 wish) what type of researchdo you think should be focused on?
  The ALS Association supports a wide breadth of specific fields of study that are critical to advancing ALS research. (ALS Association website)
  · Assistive Technology.
  · Biomarkers.
  · Clinical Studies.
  · Cognitive Studies.
  · Disease Mechanisms.
  · Disease Models.
  · Drug Development.
  · Environmental Factors.
  Can you think of other areas that are instrumental to ALS research or key to improving living with ALS? Have you participated in any research and how has that impacted you and your thoughts on research?
