ALS Center of Excellence

ALS Center of Excellence

Directed by Eva L. Feldman, the ALS Center of Excellence as designated by the ALS Association has two prongs — patient care and scientific research — that work together to improve the understanding and treatment of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). A world leader in the fight against ALS, our ALS Center of Excellence features a combination of renowned researchers, unrivaled facilities, and a fully equipped and dedicated clinic team.

Our researchers are working across disciplines to understand the causes of ALS, to develop faster diagnoses that improve patient care, and to create novel therapies that bring hope to persons with ALS and their families.
