Pre-Conference Workshop Day

Tuesday | February 18

8:30 am MORNING REFRESHMENTS & CHECK IN

9:30 am
WORKSHOP A
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

12:30 pm NETWORKING LUNCH

1:30 pm
WORKSHOP B
APPROACHES FOR TACKLING NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASE TO ASSESS DRUG IMPACTS FOR BETTER FUTURE DEVELOPMENT

  • Ram Krishnan Head of Neurodegenerative Disease Cluster, Sanofi

Synopsis

Reviewing the previous research and the current approaches is crucial to the development of novel methodologies and advancing drugs to clinic

Workshop highlights include:

  • Assessing the current treatments and therapies for CNS diseases to recognize where improvements can be made for better drug development
  • Understanding the difficulties in curing neurodegenerative diseases to rethink approaches and advance treatments for better patient outcome
  • Exploring the benefits of protein degradation, and its potential for CNS diseases as a different method of drug development to revolutionise treatments for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, CLS and Prion Diseases
