A loved one’s diagnosis moved this UCLA Health researcher to take on ALS

2022-04-06T14:40:49+00:00

A loved one’s diagnosis moved this UCLA Health researcher to take on ALS Computational geneticist developed a blood test that could detect how fast muscle cells are dying, potentially aiding diagnosis. After a parent is diagnosed with an incurable disease, it’s natural to feel an urge to do anything possible to help. For some people, that could be advocacy, or household assistance, or tracking down the best available medical care. For Noah Zaitlen, Phd, associate professor of computational medicine and neurology at UCLA Health, it meant launching a research project to create a better diagnostic test for a debilitating neurological [...]
