Money generated by last year’s Ice Bucket Challenge social media campaign will allow John Landers, PhD, professor of neurology, to bring an international effort to sequence the genomes of at least 15,000 people with ALS to the United States. The $1 million grant from the ALS Association will be used to fund Project MinE, in which Dr. Landers and other researchers will identify all the genes that cause both familial and sporadic ALS, a fatal neurodegenerative disease also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.
