Overcoming the low success rate of new CNS therapeutics
Venue: Central London
Location: London, United Kingdom
Event Date/Time: Apr 12, 2011 | End Date/Time: Apr 12, 2011 |
Description
Other contributing factors are:
Poor predictive validity of animal models
Difficulty achieving an acceptable risk/benefit ratio
Poor CNS bioavailability
Despite the failures, the huge unmet need and size of the commercial opportunity continues to fuel intense interest in development of novel
therapeutics for CNS disorders. With the benefit of hindsight and the strong industry experience of the workshop leaders this workshop will explore ways to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of CNS medicines research This Masterclass aims to address the problems encountered during new CNS drug development, as well as examining why the theory does not always match up to reality.
The workshop will be delivered through a combination of discussions, case studies and lectures, designed to promote a hands-on and
creative approach to CNS medicines research.
