   The award is being presented to Dr. Julien for his work in ALS research to advance the understanding of this devastating disease.His research, "Transgenic Mice the Overproduce Peripherin: New Mouse Models of Motor Neuron Disease," conducted on genetically altered mice, suggests that peripherin, a protein detected in the majority of cells affected with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), may be a major contributor to the debilitating symptoms of the disease.Dr. Julien will receive a $25,000 prize, funded by a grant from the Essey family, to be used for continuing his ALS research.
   
   Adds Mr. Essey "I am so hopeful that Dr. Julien's research, to date and in the future, will help others unlock the secret as to what causes ALS and how to cure it."

   Julien's work clearly moves us closer to finding not only the cause of ALS, but the development of treatments for this disease."
