ALS United Mid-Atlantic spent on ALS specific research
Support for Major ALS TDI Initiative
This summer, the ALS United Mid-Atlantic research committee chose ALS TDI as one of the recipients of a grant to expand on promising ALS studies. This grant will benefit the BioTek 8 Incubator, which will significantly expand the volume of tests that ALS TDI can run using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
A United Approach to ALS Research
In the second half of 2023, we officially became ALS United Mid-Atlantic. This separation allows us to retain our independence and preserves our nationally recognized care programs. When we announced this change, many of our supporters asked what this meant for the future of ALS research.
