I have been involved in ALS research for several years, first in Canada working alongside Dr Angela Genge, and now in Sweden working with Dr Caroline Ingre. I have seen first hand how much ALS trials can bring to ALS patients and their families, and how this disease does not discriminate and can touch us all in many ways. Today, I am dedicating my career to ALS research, by my work at the Karolinska ALS Clinical Research Center and by my PhD studies focusing mainly on cognition in ALS and clinical trial access in Sweden. I am highly motivated to support the Ulla-Carin Lindquist's foundation so ALS research in Sweden can keep its level of excellence and can keep helping ALS patients.
