Describe the particular area of research that you would investigate (drug-based therapies that would slow the progression of the disease, tissue repair/regeneration, gene therapy, etc.)

Assume the role of a research scientist who is applying for grant money to fund research on ALS. Describe the particular area of research that you would investigate (drug-based therapies that would slow the progression of the disease, tissue repair/regeneration, gene therapy, etc.) and provide valid scientific reasoning as to why this area of research is worth the investment of funds. Be sure to provide citations for the resources you’ve explored outside your textbook.
