As a recipient of a 2024 ALS Canada-Brain Canada Discovery Grant, Dr. Christine Vande Velde aims to test whether disrupting stress granules, structures thought to help protect neurons under stress, negatively impacts neuronal survival and contributes to disease progression. Additionally, her team will study how disrupting stress granules affects neurons in ALS models with a pathogenic variant (mutation) in the TDP-43 gene.

With the support of a 2024 ALS Canada-Brain Canada Trainee Award, Mariam Choughari, a PhD student at CRCHUM, Université de Montréal, is unraveling the role of a protein called G3BP1 in cellular stress, and investigating whether it’s possible to use therapeutic ASOs to strengthen and support cells' ability to cope with stress. Through her experiments, Mariam hopes to pave the way for new therapeutic strategies that target stress pathways in ALS. To learn more about Mariam’s research, visit https:

ALS is a devastating disease that progresses differently for everyone. There is no “right” way to deal with an ALS diagnosis or the changes it brings. When living with ALS, the choice to continue working is personal. For Yan Gurevich, ALS community member, continuing with his profession is part of how he chooses to live with ALS in addition to raising awareness to spark action for change. However you choose to navigate a diagnosis, ALS Canada is here to help you every step of the way. Learn more

A common feature in most ALS cases is a disruption of the normal levels and function of a protein called TDP-43. The protein is normally found in the nucleus of the cell, but in ALS, it accumulates in the cytoplasm and can form clumps that may be toxic. Through the support of a 2024 ALS Canada-Brain Canada Discovery Grant, Dr. DeRosa and team plan to target this TDP-43 pathology and explore the use of small molecules called DNA aptamers. By discovering unique sequences of DNA aptamers that can b
