This question brought together more than 40 researchers this spring, as Project ALS and the Robert Packard Center for ALS Research co-hosted a workshop in Washington, D.C. The focus was one of the field’s toughest challenges: modeling ALS using human neurons in the lab.

ALS affects motor neurons, the critical nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that enable movement. But these cells can’t be biopsied to study in a lab. So how can we investigate what is happening to a motor neuron inside a person living with #ALS?

Project ALS is concerned by proposed cuts to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Science is our most powerful tool in the fight against disease. NIH funding— over $47 billion annually— has been vital in advancing ALS research, including at the Project ALS Therapeutics Core.
