Prize4Life, a non-profit organization dedicated to accelerating the discovery of treatments and a cure for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), is pleased to announce the appointment of Roger D. Kornberg, PhD, to its Scientific Advisory Board. “Prize4Life is delighted to welcome such an accomplished and talented scientific mind,” said Avi Kremer, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Prize4Life. “Roger Kornberg is an excellent addition to our Scientific Advisory Board, which provides a high level of expert knowledge and wise counsel to Prize4Life and is integral to the success of our important mission.” Dr. Kornberg is currently a professor of structural biology at Stanford University School of Medicine, where his lab has continued to elucidate the complex process by which DNA is unraveled, read, and “transcribed” into RNA. Although his research is not directly related to ALS, Dr. Kornberg believes “Prize4Life’s mission of finding treatments and a cure for ALS is imperative. I look forward to joining the organization’s impressive assembly of scientific advisors. Through its innovative model, Prize4Life can produce real results for ALS patients.”
