A team of Western University researchers led by Dr. Michael Strong has uncovered a potential path toward a cure for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The breakthrough, which illustrates how protein interactions can preserve or prevent the nerve cell death that is a hallmark of ALS, is the culmination of decades of Western research backed by the Temerty Foundation.

Dr. Eldon Loh, MD'05, has been appointed as the Earl Russell Chair in Pain Management at the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, Western University, effective May 1, 2024 to April 30, 2029.
