IMPORTANCE, AIMS AND POSSIBLE OUTCOME OF RESEARCH<br />
Amiotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disorder which cannot<br />
be cured efficiently up to this day. ALS significantly decreases the quality of life<br />
of the patient, and 3-5 years after the diagnosis leads to death. There are two<br />
forms of this disorder: familial and sporadic. Through sequencing the genome of<br />
patients scientists were able to detect some SNPs and genetic variability. The aim<br />
of our research is to further investigate the genetic background of amiotrophic<br />
lateral sclerosis. If we get to know the genetic background of ALS we could offer<br />
more targeted, more personal therapy.<br />
AIMS DURING HER CAREER<br />
After finishing the medical school, I would like to get my PhD degree. I would like<br />
to work overseas or somewhere in Europe and I would like to persue a carrier in<br />
research as a full time scientist.<br />
