Center for Motor Neuron Biology and Disease

Motor Neuron Center
Columbia’s Motor Neuron Center will transform our understanding of human health. For the first time, brilliant scientific minds are working together in a common approach to currently incurable motor neuron diseases: spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) in children and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS; Lou Gehrig’s disease) in adults. New discoveries in the field of motor neuron biology will fuel the search for effective therapy for patients.
