Scientists

Collaborating for Answers

Target ALS built a collaborative network of over 250 leading scientists, both established ALS leaders and those with expertise that is essential for the field to develop. Within each of these investigators’ laboratories, many scientists may be working on a project linked to a Target ALS-funded consortium, often in close collaboration with young scientists from other institutions.
