Event Overview

Recent advances in human biology have shined a spotlight on the critical role of neuroimmune cells in the pathobiology of many neurological diseases. Drug discovery in neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory diseases including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Multiple Sclerosis have increasingly focused on targets in microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and infiltrating immune cells. Explore the cutting-edge developments in neuroimmunology propelled by advanced tools such as proteomics, transcriptomics, and spatial biology, as well as human translatable models like iPSCs, 2D/3D culture models and humanized mouse models.

Join us at the ELRIG drug discovery forum on neuroimmunology in Boston to learn about the latest research propelling this dynamic field forward.
