Modulating Neuroimmune Pathology for Transformative Therapeutics in Neuroscience

With hot BTKi and TREM2 readouts transforming AD & MS treatment landscapes, and an explosion of R&D innovation from astrocyte modulation, cGAS-STING pathway and JAK-STAT immunomodulation to peripheral immune targets, inflammasome targeting, complement inhibitors and GLP-1R, the neuroinflammation field is booming with investment and fresh energy.

Welcoming you to a niche community of 100+ biotech and pharma lab heads, directors and VPs from discovery research, translational and clinical development, search and evaluation and alliance management departments working across a breadth of pipelines, disease areas and targets, the 7th Neuroimmunology Drug Development Summit is the perfect opportunity to learn from each other, upskill yourself and your team and connect with your peers to fuel a new wave of transformative therapeutics in neuroscience.

Back Translating Clinical Insights to Early Neuroinflammatory R&D with More Predictive & Prognostic Biomarkers, 3D Cocultures, Novel Targets

Hear the latest BTKi efficacy and safety data in reducing disability accumulation in Multiple Sclerosis, including Sanofi’s Tolebrutinib, NovartisRemibrutinib, Biogen’s BIIB091 and Roche’s Fenebrutinib; and catch the latest TREM2 readouts with Novartis’ ATV:TREM2 and Vigil Neuroscience’s ALSP TREM2 to explore the future of anti-inflammatory agents play a role in the AD landscape

What Your Neuroimmunology Peers Have to Say

“Well organized event, right size with the right experts in the neuroimmunology field. The interactive sessions and round table discussions were very helpful.”

Senior Principal Scientist, Novartis

“The event was well organised. I liked the workshops (the presenters made them very interactive) and the talks had a nice balance of novel ideas and drug discovery results.”

Vice President, Biology, NRG Therapeutics

“All the talks were of high quality and it was a great opportunity to get a quite exhaustive overview of where the field stands. Because of the small size and the specific topic of the conference, I particularly appreciated how easy it was to network.”

Principal Investigator, Calibr-Skaggs Institute for Innovative Medicines

“This Neuroimmunology meeting allowed open discussions on different types of in vitro and in vivo neuroinflammation assays between pharma and biotech organizations. Additionally, new projects were presented, including preclinical and clinical updates.”

Chief Scientific Officer, Discoveric Bio

“Presentations were well done. Setting was intimate enough to allow good discussion. Liked the panel topics and group exercise.”

Executive Director & Head of Development, Neurology & Program for Opthalmology Lead, Apellis Pharma

“What made the experience enjoyable was the ability to connect with like minded individuals and share and express common interests in the area of neuroimmunology and glial biology. What stood out were the amazing talks.”

Molecular, Cell Biology & Research Scientist, Vertex Pharmaceuticals
