ALS Finding a Cure Request for Proposals

2024-01-09T20:06:17+00:00

ALS Finding a Cure Request for Proposals To Develop and Validate ALS Organoid Models Overview: Organoids are a powerful new and compelling technology for studying disease biology. Several different and complementary organoid models currently exist with relevance to ALS, but none of these models has been tested across multiple ALS iPSC lines, and all have been created using different lines/genetic backgrounds making comparisons between/among them challenging. The reagents and assays used to assess ALS phenotypes have likewise varied. This variability and limited scale make it challenging to interpret results and to establish methodologic robustness. This targeted RFP aims to [...]

ALS Ride For Life ALS Ride For Life (ALSRFL) is a non-profit located in Stony Brook, New York. ALSRFL was founded 26 years ago by Chris Pendergast.

ALS Finding a Cure Call for Proposals in Early Diagnostics

2022-12-24T00:13:58+00:00

ALS Finding a Cure Call for Proposals in Early Diagnostics Shockingly, more than 150 years after the disease was first defined, there are currently no universally accepted diagnostic approaches for ALS. In order to receive an ALS diagnosis patients must first undergo a battery of tests designed to rule out other diagnoses. This is highly problematic because it can take a year for an ALS patient to receive the correct diagnosis (and sometimes even longer). While these individuals are searching for a name for their affliction, they are frequently bounced to multiple doctors, can receive unnecessary (and expensive) surgical procedures and [...]
