Welcome to the 25th Annual Packard Center ALS Research Symposium. For the past 25 years, the Packard Center has grown from a handful of ALS researchers into a global force, a self-supporting entity that has propelled the understanding of ALS to unprecedented heights. The Packard Center has become synonymous with exceptional fundamental research and the convener of a global ALS research community. Through catalyst funding and collaboration, our journey has been marked by one relentless pursuit and fueled by the passion of those who refuse to accept the status quo. This symposium serves as a testament to our collective commitment to empowering the early-stage, foundational research needed to guide future therapies and biomarkers for people living with ALS.
HOTEL INFORMATION: This year, all attendees will be required to book their own hotel accommodations. Please use the Travel Information link above for booking instructions.
