        Hi Ellie

        Confusion here certainly in that I knew that the USA is behind us (in more ways than one!)

        But I was not quite sure how much until I looked and then realised I probably could not take part in all of it, given it is 16 hours BST (British summertime)

        Warmly

          Interesting webinar. Available for a month apparently.

          A good summary of current drug trials - and a realistic comment on Endaravone. I am more and more convinced that a treatment for some forms of familial MND will be found sooner rather than later and well ahead of treatment for sporadic MND.

          It highlighted the complexity and duration of the drug development process, which is not helped in the screening of patients by the huge spread of symptoms and variable rates of progression we know only too well.

          I found their precision medicine program fascinating, including the use of accelerometer data and enlisting the help of Google in analysing 83,000 voice recordings as predictors of progression.

            Hi Lynne / any interested parties,

            The webinar video is now available to view - registration required.

            The ALS Town Hall, hosted by ALS TDI, is a virtual forum for that allows the ALS community to safely convene while social distancing and discuss ALS research.


            Love Ellie.
