It's a Great Honor -- Dr. Eva Feldman

The American Neurological Association named Dr. Eva Feldman of the University of Michigan?s Taubman Medical Research Institute as its president.

?It?s a great honor to lead a distinguished group of neurologists who share my mission of furthering the research and education that will enable us to find groundbreaking therapies and cures for diseases of the nervous system,? Feldman said.

Feldman, who had served as the ANA?s vice president, will accept her position, Tuesday, at the group?s 136th annual conference, where she will present her research in the stem-cell treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig?s Disease.
