Innovation is accelerating across every frontier of ALS research. At the 2025 ALS TDI Summit, scientists and collaborators showcased how new technologies, shared data, and bold partnerships are shaping the next generation of ALS discoveries.

The ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI) is proud to announce that it will lead all research operations for Champion Insights—a new study planned to launch this fall in partnership with Answer ALS and Augie’s Quest to Cure ALS. This effort aims to uncover critical genetic and metabolic factors that may help explain the significantly higher incidence of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) among endurance athletes, military service members, and other potentially high-risk groups.

In 2026, the ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI) is offering athletes the opportunity to run in some of the world’s most prestigious marathons – all while raising funds and awareness to help end ALS.
