A Neurologist Speaks on Advancements in Clinical Research for ALS

The pace of research has significantly increased in recent years and choosing to participate in a study is an important personal decision. The Les Turner ALS Foundation is here to help you navigate this space and provide support. Join us for our July ALS Learning Series with Dr. Senda Ajroud-Driss, neurologist and director of the Lois Insolia ALS Clinic at the Les Turner ALS Center at Northwestern Medicine. She’ll discuss updates in ALS clinical research, provide information on trials that are currently recruiting, and review inclusion criteria, with a Q & A to follow.
