The Drug Discovery for Neurodegenerationcourse advances drug discovery for neurodegenerative diseases by educating scientists on the process of translating basic research into novel therapies. 
The course is designed to give participants knowledge and relevant resources about this field of scientific investigation and address the associated barriers and challenges. 
The program will focus on Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Multiple Sclerosis.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

1.  Train a cadre of interdisciplinary scientists in the principles of drug discovery for neurodegenerative disease;

2.  Provide a platform to exchange ideas, knowledge and resources about drug discovery for neurodegenerative disease;

3.  Stimulate pre-clinical research in the discovery and testing of novel compounds aimed at the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative disease; and

4.  Build public-private partnerships that will accelerate drug discovery for neurodegenerative disease.
