ALS Genome Research
Rotary Club La Valette is funding the genetic sequencing of 10 Maltese ALS patients to advance research into this devastating neurological disease. This effort strengthens Malta’s contribution to international ALS studies, fosters collaboration with Sicilian researchers, and helps develop targeted therapies—bringing the scientific community one step closer to prevention and a cure.

Many choose to pursue training at conservatoire level, and although they may be of a commensurate standard vocally, they often find themselves at a disadvantage in terms of musical education and experience.
