Meet Peter Wallach, our co-founder and Chief Financial Officer, who shares his incredible story about how his brother’s ALS diagnosis led him to start Synapticure.
It can be difficult to access
#mentalhealth
care when you need it. That’s where Synapticure comes in. Our psychologists are expertly trained to help families dealing with

diseases navigate grief, build coping skills & find better ways to practice self-care.
We are thrilled to announce that Synapticure has received IRB approval to launch a study treating presymptomatic carriers of pathogenic ALS-associated genes with Riluzole.
What, exactly, does that mean?
This isn't just Brian's diagnosis, this is OUR diagnosis.
And caregivers need care too.

Over the coming weeks, we want to better explain how we help patients living with ALS through patient stories. From insurance navigation, benefits and VA access, ALS clinic referrals and appeals for insurance coverage, we're here to help.
We are in awe of the tireless advocacy of the ALS community and clinicians. We want thank the AdCom and the

#ALSAwarenessMonth
There are <300 ALS and <700 PD specialists in the US for 30,000 and ~1M patients, respectively. Traveling all day for most patients to receive care is a burden; seeing patients when they need care with the existing infrastructure is near impossible. That's why we exist.
This photo is from October 2017. Two months after I was diagnosed with ALS.
On the outside, I look normal but on the inside, I was spinning with questions and uncertainty about my future.

We believe that every patient and patient family member with neurodegenerative disease should have access to genetic testing, should know about their rights for retesting, and when better tests have emerged.
Many patients for example received a sponsored test that didn't...
Imagine a world where every neurodegenerative disease patient -- not just those with access -- got modern, standardize diagnosis and molecular testing, including genomics, to deliver targeted treatment and dramatically reducing the time cost of drugs like Tofersen and Zolgensma

Brook Croke, one of Synapticure’s genetic counselors, explains why genetic testing and counseling is valuable for every pALS and their family, as well as for those who may be pre-symptomatic gene carriers, whom we are now enrolling.
"With ALS, you can never have too much care.
@synapticure

When you have a

This Thursday at 7:00p ET, four patients and caregivers will share their ALS journeys and why they decided to add Synapticure to their care team.
Block your calendars now!
"We. Love. Dr. Faber."
It feels like we hear that message daily from patients and caregivers who have seen Dr. Faber, one of Synapticure's incredible sub-specialized neurologists. They love him--and we do, too!
See below to learn more about this incredible member of our team 🙌
A few reminders of why we exist:
1. pALS and cALS carry an enormous burden of managing care outside the clinic, included finding DME, mental health, PT, etc.
2. We bring ALS-trained neurologists to all 50 States
3. We reach patients we are often left out of ALS clinical care...
We started Synapticure with one hope: to reimagine

care..
Turning that hope into reality hasn't been simple--but, we think we're on the right track when feedback sounds like this.

Patients have become so used to the separation of specialty neurologists and care coordination that it seems normal to be left alone to manage medications, symptoms, DME and medical care.
But it's not normal -- patients with Parkinson's and ALS/PLS deserve better.
