  • Summary of the Neuro4D Conference
    13 - 14th May 2019:

    The 2018 event had triggered many new collaborations and personal interactions of conference participants, which is the main driver for this conference and ultimately for success in drug discovery.

    Detailed Summary



    The new session format with short presentations followed by Q&A and a Chairman-led panel discussion at the end of each session further boosted the highly interactive nature of this conference. Discussions often started during the sessions and continued during breaks in groups or one -on-one meetings. To further improve the interactions and attract more posters presentations for the 2020 conference, a price for the best presented approach in neurodegenerative disease drug discovery will be created, which will be presented on the Neuro4D website after the conference.
