We are excited to host EverythingALS Community Event: Expanding mechanisms and therapeutic targets for ALS
Our speaker Dr.Aaron Gitler, is a Stanford Medicine Basic Science Professor in the Department of Genetics at Stanford University.
https://profiles.stanford.edu/aaron-gitler
He received his B.S. degree from Penn State University and did his PhD studies on cardiovascular development in the laboratory of Dr. Jonathan Epstein at the University of Pennsylvania. Then he performed his postdoctoral training with Dr. Susan Lindquist at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research and MIT. In 2007, he established his laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania and moved to Stanford in 2012. His laboratory has been using a combination of yeast and human genetics approaches to investigate pathogenic mechanisms of ALS.

![Three Molecular Subtypes of ALS: #ExpertTalk with Dr. Molly Gale Hammell
In this episode of the EverythingALS Expert Talk Series, Dr. Molly Gale Hammell, Associate Professor at the Institute for Systems Genetics, NYU Langone Medical Center, explores the three molecular subtypes of ALS — stress, inflammation, and TDP-43 pathology. She shares insights into how these distinct pathways contribute to ALS progression and potential avenues for targeted treatments.
