Biorepository to Support ALS Research in Minnesota

The purpose of the study is to establish and maintain a biorepository of tissue and biospecimen samples relevant to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) research. We will obtain, store, and catalogue peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), blood and blood components, skin punch biopsy samples, and cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) from people living with ALS, linked to clinical datasets, to advance ALS research.
