Translatability remains a key bottleneck holding back the development of CNS therapeutics through the clinic. Bridging the gap between biomarker data obtained from animals vs humans and overcoming physiological differences in brain tissue between species are critical concepts to be
discussed.
In this session, you will:
-
- Decipher how to bridge the gap between what can be measured in preclinical models and in the CNS of clinical patients
-
- Understand how proteomic analyses of animal and human biofluids facilitates comparative studies
of brain activity to determine clinical translatability of a biomarker
-
- Uncover fluid and imaging biomarkers that can accurately measure pathological effects of
treatment in animal brain models and assess their ability to be recapitulated in human studies
-
- Evaluate iPSC-derived models for reflecting human neuropathology and developing translatable
biomarkers with sufficient specificity in humans
