Host: Mark Nolan Hill, MD

Guest: William Burke, MD

Scientists at many institutions are researching to find neuroprotective agents for ALS. While today's guests research focuses on other neurological diseases, he recently wrote a commentary to a published neurology article about ALS research suggesting that the properties of a drug, Taxol should also be considered in animal models researching ALS. In this segment, Dr. Mark Nolan Hill talks with Dr. William Burke about ALS and why Taxol may be a worthwhile drug to examine in animal models as a neuoroprotective agent for ALS.
