 This California ALS Research Summit is the first annual gathering of researchers, investigators, clinicians, biotech companies, government representatives and patient advocates in ALS and related fields in the State of California. Its purpose is to help increase, expedite and promote the amount and level of ALS and related research done in California; and to foster networking, collaboration and cooperation among investigators, their peers and their colleagues to identify, develop and deliver new and effective treatments, ideas and, ultimately, a cure for ALS. It will result in a roadmap for ALS research in California, which will provide the basis for partnering with the state and other supporters to further ALS research in California. |
