The World’s Largest Coordinated and Collaborative ALS Research Project.
The most pivotal initiative in the fight against ALS this century.
About Us
We are committed to ending ALS, ensuring no one faces it alone.
Answer ALS is dedicated to accelerating the discovery of treatments and cures for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) by uniting a global community of researchers, patients, and advocates in an open, collaborative quest for answers. Through our innovative Neuromine platform, we harness multi-omics data from diverse participants to help uncover biomarkers, identify risk factors, and drive therapeutic breakthroughs. By sharing data transparently, fostering inclusive partnerships, and empowering those affected by ALS, we aim to transform the fight against this devastating disease.

What began as a single project has grown into a living ecosystem of science, with major core initiatives and hundreds of independent research projects worldwide fueled by our open-access data, biosamples, and iPSCs. From pharmaceutical partnerships to academic collaborations, Neuromine has become more than a data portal, but rather a launchpad for discovery.
