Project ALS is thrilled to welcome Dr. Ai Yamamoto to the Research Advisory Board and recognizes her leadership as she is joining our decision-making body. Dr. Yamamoto is the Associate Professor of Neurology and Pathology and Cell Biology at Columbia University and is a foremost expert on protein clearing, or autophagy, in neurodegeneration, particularly in Huntington’s and Parkinson’s diseases.
Project ALS has partnered with Dr. Yamamoto for about three years, as we strive to identify the role of autophagy in Huntington’s, ALS, and related diseases. We look forward to seeing where her leadership will take us.
