Neurodegenerative 2015 - 9th Neurodegenerative Conditions Research & Development Conference

9th Neurodegenerative Conditions Research & Development Conference, to be held September 9-10, 2015 in Philadelphia, PA. The drug discovery effort for neurodegenerative diseases has been one of the major challenges of the pharmaceutical industry. This conference will connect scientists and researchers to share perspectives on the latest topics of interest, such as targeted treatments for psychiatric disorders, neuroinflammation, and cell- and gene-therapy based therapies.
Sessions include:
Novel Therapeutics & Approaches in Alzheimer’s Disease
Advances in Parkinson’s Disease Research & Therapeutics
Biomarkers: Translation from Discovery to Clinical
Hot Topics in Neurodegeneration Research: Prion-Like Spread of Protein Aggregates
Hot Topics in Neurodegeneration Research: Advances in Genetics and Systems Biology
Hot Topics in Neurodegeneration Research: Neuroinflammation
Rare and Orphan CNS Disorders
Alternative Funding Sources: Foundations and Public/Private Partnerships
New Treatments and Trends in Psychiatric Disorders
This program strives to go beyond just dialogue around research itself, but the partnerships and alliances that need to be formed in order to continue pushing research forward into the future. What are the best models of private/public partnerships? How are patient advocacy groups changing the way we think about funding and research? Colleagues will have the opportunity to build new relationships and move forward together towards the future of neuroscience.
