SOCIETY NEWS CONTACTS WORK WITH US GIFT CARD News 30 Apr The Selex Group supports scientific research on ALS "Let's build the first National ALS Biobank together" is the goal of the partnership between Aisla Onlus, the Italian Association of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and the Selex Group. The initiative includes an important national awareness campaign in the sales points of the group's brands and through the web and social communication channels, and takes the name of "A gesture with the heart to support research against ALS" . Shopping and supporting scientific research on ALS will be possible between 6 and 12 May in over 700 supermarkets and hypermarkets, including the Famila and A&O points of sale that belong to the Arca Group: 1% of the sales of its products The brand will be donated to AISLA for the construction of the first National Biobank dedicated to ALS. Furthermore, anyone can give their contribution and support the project through the mechanics communicated in the points of sale. The Biobank is an archive of biological samples from people with ALS that are indispensable for carrying out scientific research on this disease which today is without cure. It will therefore be aimed at the collection, processing and cryopreservation of biological material in order to promote the study of the causes, the experimentation of new possible drugs and the definition of diagnostic and prevention instruments. The creation in Italy of a biobank on ALS to be made available to all researchers is therefore an essential step to accelerate and promote scientific research. Massimo Mauro, president of Aisla, the Italian Association of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis , says: “The support of the Selex Group is important to give a new and strong impulse to scientific research through the creation of the National ALS Biobank which will be open to all researchers. In recent years Aisla has supported research with around 6 million collected thanks to donations from our supporters and the alliance with Selex will allow us to take a further step forward to respond to the over 6000 people affected by ALS in Italy ". "Raising awareness among customers on important issues such as the battle against a neurodegenerative disease that affects about 6 thousand people in Italy, the causes of which are still unknown, is a duty for a reality like ours that has the ability to reach a broad target of the population »Declared Alessandro Revello , President of the Selex Group " We have a significant and precious network, consisting of hundreds of points of sale throughout the territory and when we learned the purpose of the AISLA project, we have no doubt about the opportunity to put it at the service of Research ".
