UZ Leuven
Belgium - Leuven
The Leuven Center for ALS is a reference center for ALS in Belgium, which combines clinical care for patients with research into disease causes, disease mechanisms and new biomarkers and treatments for ALS.
In the Leuven Center for ALS 120-130 new patients with ALS are seen annually and about 250 patients are followed up in by the local multidisciplinary care team. The center is actively involved in basic and clinical ALS research. Our clinical research activities include genetic, imaging (including PET/MRI imaging), electrophysiological and biomarker studies, as well as phase I-III clinical trials. Our basic research focuses on the generation of patient-derived stem cell models for ALS and FTD to study disease mechanisms. We also use these models to identify and validate molecular targets for new treatments.
