Wall of Success

ALS is a rare but devastating neurodegenerative disorder: the nerve cells that control the body’s muscles gradually atrophy, leading to general paralysis. There is no effective treatment, and it leads to death within a few years of diagnosis. ALS is increasingly being recognized as a systemic disease, affecting not only the central nervous system but also other physiological aspects. In this project, I and my team will investigate if patients with ALS have another interplay between metabolism, gut microbiome and adaptive immunity than individuals without ALS.

The Text Consultant is sharp and always picked up on the things that made me appear uncertain or weak in the presentation. It was also great fun how we always came up with a brilliant solution together to address them. I greatly appreciated the fact that he raised my confidence at the very beginning, telling me that he had great faith in me (when I myself did not). I got my ERC Starting Grant. It was a great experience to work with The Text Consultant.
