Research
Our research received a $25,000 grant.
The project that started ALS Forward uses computational biology to study ALS and PT150. The grant gives the team support to continue the work.
ALS and PT150 research
Computational research focused on PT150.
The team combined biological datasets, machine learning, model interpretation, and molecular docking to investigate PT150 in the context of ALS research.

What the team did
The project brought several computational methods together in one study: biological data analysis, a graph neural network, model-interpretability tools, and molecular docking focused on PT150.
What the grant means
The $25,000 research grant recognizes the strength of the project and gives the team resources to keep developing the work around PT150 and ALS.
The next phase
The work is continuing.
The grant gives the team room to expand the computational analysis and molecular-docking work around PT150, then share what they learn with researchers and potential collaborators. We will update this page as the project develops.
