Roger Pamphlett has a longstanding interest in finding the causes of MND.
His current research projects include the “ALS Quest”, an online international questionnaire looking for environmental risk factors for MND, as well as seeking to understand potential environmental risk factors that may precipitate the disease. His work also involves analysing toxins within the nervous system of people with MND, examining the link between exercise and MND and using advanced genetic techniques to look for gene variants that could predispose people to developing MND.
