The Center for ALS Research at Johns Hopkins is pleased to announce Dyan

Featured as one of the "Top 50 Women in Technology" in Upside

The Center for ALS Research at Johns Hopkins is a collaboration of scientists
worldwide working aggressively and rapidly to develop new treatments and
find a cure for ALS. It's the only institution of its kind dedicated solely
to the disease. Research conducted by the Center is meant to translate
from the laboratory bench to the clinic as quickly as possible.
The nature of ALS shapes the Center's results-oriented scientific approach.
ALS is a devastating, progressive neuromuscular disease that causes complete
paralysis and loss of function -- including the ability to eat, speak
and breathe. ALS progresses quickly and is not curable. Most patients
die within five years of diagnosis.
