iMNDA / RMN
ALS foundation
The Academic Unit of Neurology of Trinity College Dublin, Research Motor Neurone (RMN) and the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association (iMNDA) are partners in Project MinE and aim to analyse 700 DNA samples of ALS patients and 350 DNA samples of control subjects.
The Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association (IMNDA) is a nonprofit organization based in Ireland dedicated to supporting people affected by Motor Neurone Disease (MND). Their mission includes providing care, assistance, and resources for individuals living with MND, along with their families and caregivers. IMNDA also raises awareness and supports research efforts related to the disease.
The Irish ALS Research Group includes international experts in cognition, imaging, clinical management, epidemiology and genetics of ALS. Our group has conducted the first population based longitudinal study of cognition and behaviour in ALS, was the first to show that the phenotype and natural history of incident and prevalent patients with ALS/MND differs; that attendance at a multidisciplinary clinic independently improves survival, and that the presence of executive impairment is an important determinant of disease progression.
Research Motor Neurone is an Irish charity founded in 2007, with the purpose of promoting and facilitating research into the causes and treatments of motor neurone disease (MND). RMM provides seed funding for ongoing research to find the cause, treatment options and methods of improving the quality of life of MND sufferers and their families.
