Where is the Packard Center located?

The Robert Packard Center for ALS Research at Johns Hopkins is a center "without walls." While thirty scientists are conducting basic science and clinical research at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore, there are many scientists working at other institutions such as Harvard University, University of California in San Diego, and University of Chicago, to name just a few. The Center embraces any high caliber organization where scientists are working toward the mission of halting or finding the cure for ALS.

Administrative operations are conducted at the Johns Hopkins Mount Washington Campus. Our mailing address:
