Packard Investigator Udai Pandey of the University of Pittsburgh led an international team that found a protein called muscleblind modifies the toxicity of ALS-linked mutations in a second protein called FUS (Fused in Sarcoma).

On Saturday, May 2, 2020, the Packard Center will host the 14th annual Fiesta 5k for ALS Research!
