Additional Info

At IU School of Medicine, clinicians and scientists study ALS and other neuromuscular disorders to improve diagnosis, track how the disease progresses, and explore potential treatments. Clinical research efforts give patients the opportunity to take part in studies that help advance knowledge while contributing to future care.

This work includes research on medication-based treatments, gene-based therapies, and other approaches that aim to better manage symptoms and support quality of life. These efforts are part of a broader, long-term commitment to improving how ALS is understood and treated.

Gifts to this fund can support pilot studies, research infrastructure, and training for students, fellows, and faculty. By supporting the ALS Research Fund, you're helping move research forward in meaningful ways, bringing greater understanding, better care, and continued hope to individuals and families affected by ALS. Thank you for your generous support!
