Sorry if I misunderstand you, English is not my native tongue. I have no intention to study medicine as I am a retired engineer. However I followed a master class in bioinformatics at a local university and several Coursera classes (Neuroscience and system biology).
ALS is specially interesting for me as two people in my step family died of ALS. So there is a suspicion of familial ALS but nobody decided to be tested and under French laws genetic testing for ALS is a complicated process.
Ideally I would like to design a computational model of ALS. I tried a few years ago [0], before I realized the complexity of the disease.
In the mean time I try to improve public ALS understanding by publishing roughly every 4 days an article about a scientific publication.
