AriSLA is the leading non-profit organization dedicated to funding and promoting excellence in scientific research on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in Italy.
Founded in 2008 thanks to the initiative of Fondazione Telethon together with other major organizations:
- AISLA Onlus, the leading Italian patient association dedicated to ALS.
- Fondazione Cariplo, a philanthropic foundation that leverages financial and human resources to promote the common good and support people in achieving their potential.
- Fondazione Vialli e Mauro per la Ricerca e lo Sport Onlus, established in 2003 by two renowned Italian football players to promote ALS research.
Today, AriSLA represents a cornerstone for the entire Italian scientific community engaged in ALS research, acting as both a catalyst and a driving force in this field.
