14th Drug Discovery for Neurodegeneration Workshop

14th Drug Discovery for Neurodegeneration Workshop is organized by Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF) and will be held from Apr 27  - May 11, 2020.

Description:
This interactive workshop is designed as an introductory course covering all aspects of drug discovery for neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Frontotemporal Degeneration, and Multiple Sclerosis.

Benefits For Participation:
• Gain an understanding of the drug discovery pipeline, from target identification to clinical trials
• Learn from case studies and challenges associated with developing drugs for neurodegenerative diseases
• Attend panel discussions to learn about careers outside academia
• Attend panel discussions to learn about relevant grant opportunities and how to get funded
• Partake in interactive breakout sessions
• Join 1-1 mentoring sessions and networking events to engage with experts in the field
• Present your poster

Objectives:
• Train a cadre of interdisciplinary scientists in the principles of drug discovery for neurodegenerative disease.
• Provide a platform to exchange ideas, knowledge and resources about drug discovery for neurodegenerative disease.
• Stimulate pre-clinical research in the discovery and testing of novel compounds aimed at the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative disease.
• Build public-private partnerships that will accelerate drug discovery for neurodegenerative disease.
