Every year, the ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI) hosts the ALS TDI Summit as a way to update our community on the state of ALS research and drug discovery at ALS TDI. This year, the summit focused on educating attendees about ALS TDI's role as the Drug Discovery Engine for ALS and providing updates on some of our most promising research. In addition, the ALS TDI Summit program included an extensive update on Project Euphonia, an initiative from Google to develop communication tools for people with conditions that affect their speech. We also paid tribute to outstanding members of the ALS community with our 2021 Leadership Awards. Read our full summary to learn more!
We aren't just funding the research, we’re doing it. It takes expertise, dedication, and countless hours of work to bring one ALS treatment to trial. All of that work happens here, in the ALS TDI lab. Watch this video lab tour and see for yourself! Virtually tour our Watertown lab.
