WORKSHOP A
INTRODUCTION TO CNS & BBB BIOLOGY TO UNLOCK DEEPER UNDERSTANDING FOR AIDING ADVANCEMENTS
INTRODUCTION TO CNS & BBB BIOLOGY TO UNLOCK DEEPER UNDERSTANDING FOR AIDING ADVANCEMENTS
Synopsis
Protein degradation experts have long been working on oncology targets however with the shift towards exploring CNS indications it is imperative that chemists and protein engineers understand the unique biology of the brain and the blood brain barrier
Join this workshop to:
- Hear the latest research on the brain and blood brain barrier to gain insight into basic neurobiology
- Understand the disease pathology of high value disease areas, including neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation to better understand your future CNS drug targets
- Delve into the pathological protein misfolding and aggregation pathways for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, ALS, Prion Disease and more to gain a more comprehensive picture of the proteins most commonly studied for drug development

WORKSHOP C
INTRODUCTION TO PROTEIN DEGRADER BIOLOGY TO ENHANCE INSIGHTS FOR GREATER CONTEXT & COLLABORATION
INTRODUCTION TO PROTEIN DEGRADER BIOLOGY TO ENHANCE INSIGHTS FOR GREATER CONTEXT & COLLABORATION
Synopsis
Neuroscience experts have begun exploring the use of protein degradation as a drug development approach, requiring better understanding of the specialised mechanisms that can be utilised in combating CNS diseases
Join this workshop to:
- Understand the latest research on protein synthesis and the folding and mis-folding of proteins to get to grips with the fundamentals of CNS disease origin
- Gain knowledge of the prime protein degradation pathways to understand the mechanisms of action to utilise during drug development
- Explore the variation in protein design and function to understand how molecular properties can be optimised for drug delivery and efficacy
