Pitfalls and Promise of Central Nervous System Drug Discovery

Central Nervous System disorders, and particularly neurodegenerative disorders, impact large proportions of the population and are among the most difficult targets for drug discovery. Furthermore, some of the problem is a result of science driven by the business interests, rather than the opposite. However, a careful evaluation of the reasons for past failures can provide insights into ways to improve future approaches. Join Valentin Gribkoff of TheraStat LLC and Yale University School of Medicine in this interactive free broadcast as he discusses the degree and nature of the problem and its effects on the willingness of the pharmaceutical industry to invest in the exploration of novel CNS therapies. During this webinar, you will discover possible solutions to some of the industry’s reluctance to enter or continue in pursuit of these targets.
