Mission: The mission of north east als consortium (neals) is to translate scientific advances into clincical research and new treatments for people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (als) and motor neuron disease (mnd) as rapidly as possible.
Programs: The annual neals meeting (with over 300 als scientist in attendance in 2016) serves as an opportunity for neals researchers to liaise with leading als and mnd scientists, government sponsors, academic partners, and pharmaceutical companies in order to discuss potential treatments, to review current research activities, and to share scientific updates. The neals science advisory board is responsible for advising the neals executive committee and neals members about the scientific basis of neals research activities.
