The Cleveland Clinic selected its Director of the Clinic’s Center for ALS and Related Disorders, Dr. Erik Pioro, as the chair holder.  Dr. Pioro is an internationally renowned expert in ALS, and highly regarded as among the best and the brightest in ALS research.

In addition to many years of clinical care and research, Dr. Pioro collaborates with other respected professionals in cutting edge genetic research, at such places as the National Institute of Health, (NIH) and Johns Hopkins University. He has authored numerous articles, as well as a book on ALS research and clinical care, and frequently presents at international ALS symposiums.  Dr. Pioro’s and the Clinic’s Neurosciences Institute’s strong reputations put the Cleveland Clinic on the short list for pharmaceutical trials.

Given the Clinic’s breadth of expertise, Dr. Pioro and other ALS researchers have unfettered access to research across many other disciplines, such as neuroimaging, neurology, and diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, and epilepsy.

Since the middle of this decade, there have been major strides in genetic and therapeutic research that could lead to breakthroughs for ALS.  The Cleveland Clinic, through Dr. Pioro’s leadership and unrelenting commitment, is at the gateway of these possibilities.
