All Donations Fund Breakthrough Research
A Long Swim has the largest impact by directly supporting breakthrough ALS research. The Ozdinler Lab at Northwestern is changing the game, making incredible advancements in the fight against ALS. We're confident the best way to race toward a cure is to support Dr. Ozdinler's exciting work.
The Ozdinler Lab has recently made amazing discoveries understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms responsible for early vulnerability and progressive degeneration of upper motor neurons--including, the discovery of the NU-9 compound which has shown to reverse ALS neuron damage.
