Reference centre for neuromuscular diseases and ALS of Marseille
Foundation year2003
DirectorPr Shahram Attarian
Principal investigatorDr Annie Verschueren
The ALS centre is integrated in the department for neuro-muscular diseases in the La Timone Hospital, Reference centre for neuromuscular diseases and ALS since 2003. It is devoted to the care of ALS patients and motor neuron diseases with a highly specialized multidisciplinary team. We regularly offer the opportunities to patients to participate to clinical trials. The clinical team has acquired an expertise in electrophysiological research and in neuroimaging. The centre is managed by Pr Shahram Attarian and Dr Annie Verschueren.
