Join the ALS Research Collaborative

You are invited to take part in the ALS Research Collaborative (ARC) - a research study for ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, sponsored and managed by the ALS Therapy Development Institute (ALS TDI).
The ALS Research Collaborative (ARC) is the most comprehensive and longest running translational research study in ALS. Through this collaborative study, ALS TDI partners with people living with ALS all over the world to gather data about the progression of ALS and advance our ALS drug discovery efforts. Participants share data on their movement, lifestyle, medical history, genetics, biomarkers, voice recordings and patient cell biology to inform ALS research.
