  • For such a devastating illness, we have to work together

    By: Mary Kopp Mary Kopp , 6 months ago

    TAU MU SUPPORTS ALS RESEARCH

    The ALS Association’s Trial Capacity Awards are helping break down barriers—especially those impacting currently underserved populations—and allowing for potential new therapies to be tested faster and right where patients live. And the many initiatives to accelerate diagnosis means we will have the ability to identify the disease sooner, and even pre-illness so we can work toward prevention.
