The FENS Regional Meeting (25-27 August 2021) is jointly organised by the Polish Neuroscience Society and theThe FENS Regional Meeting (25-27 August 2021) is jointly organised by the Polish Neuroscience Society and theLithuanian Neuroscience Association and will take place as an online meeting. Head of Transpharmation Poland, EwaSokolowska, will be presenting recent work based on the following abstract, “The effect of the second generation ofantipsychotic risperidone on aggressive behaviour in male CD-1 mice” on each day of this meeting 1-2 pm CEST,(central European summer time).

The ICRS is dedicated to scientific research in all fields of the cannabinoids, ranging from biochemical, chemical, and physiological studies.

Transpharmation has a poster 'Investigating NLRP3-inhibitory potential of CBD' on display at this symposium during the daily poster sessions. It will be made available to you in the publications page of this website after the event. In the meantime, please feel free to read the abstract here: View Abstract.

For the full poster presentation see our publication.

The ICNMD International Congress on Neuromuscular Diseases is organized on behalf of the Neuromuscular Disorders Applied Research Group of the World Federation of Neurology.

The aim of the ICNMD Congresses is to offer participants an updated view on neuromuscular disorders as well as networking opportunities to increase their international experience and collaborations. Given our involvement in the BIND-Horizon Grant we look forward to hearing about the latest developments in this area.

With preclinical – clinical transition being the largest failure risk in CNS therapeutics development, join us at hubXchange’s CNS Therapeutics East Coast Virtual roundtable meeting, where senior drug developers from pharma and biotech share experiences and discuss the future research landscape.

Join us at 13.00 EST to hear Transpharmation’s Scientific Lead Sandor Kantor present ‘Changes in Brain Oscillatory Activity Might Predict the Efficacy of Therapeutics in Neuropsychiatric Disorders’. His 30 minute slot will cover the following:

• Disrupted sleep and abnormal brain oscillations are common early features of many neuropsychiatric disorders. Since sleep and EEG abnormalities often precede the clinical onset of these diseases, their possible involvement in the pathophysiological process is considered
• Medications used for symptomatic treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders often affect sleep and brain oscillatory activity. Furthermore, altering brain oscillatory activity by non-pharmacological means can improve the symptoms of the diseases
• Thus, the potential mechanistic relationship between changes in brain oscillatory activity and the pathophysiological process in these disorders will be discussed alongside with potential novel therapeutic targets

The 21st Annual Conference will provide insights into cutting edge drug discovery science, preclinical development trends and will explore novel pain drug targets and novel biomarkers, including how industry is working to overcome the challenges of opioid-based treatment.

Transpharmation will be hosting round table talks on both days. Inflammation Pain Lead Ana Pereira will be discussing Translational endpoints for Preclinical Pain at 1pm on 10th May, Neuropathic Pain Lead Daniel Cohn will be discussing Novel Pharmacological approach in Pain Therapy at 11.20am on 11th May. We are also hosting ‘meet the team’ sessions at 11.20am and 4.30pm on the 10th May and 1.35pm on the 11th May. We hope to see you there.

The Neuroimmunology Drug Development Summit is the industry’s definitive and unrivalled forum focused on pushing the frontiers of targeting neuroinflammation for CNS Indications. Transpharmation is proud to be an Event Partner at this meeting and is joining the 80+ neuroimmunology drug development experts to present a poster on our new neuroinflammation models; Evaluation of Human ex vivo and Rodent in vivo Models of Inflammation for CNS Anti-Inflammatory Drug Development, as well as to learn from those pioneering the field, network and build meaningful future partnerships. To discover more about our Neuroimmunology & Neuroinflammation capabilities, please get in touch with us via https://www.transpharmation.co.uk/contact 

Each year, the BNA Festivals aim to bring together multiple organisations from both academia and industry interested in brain research, creating a novel, multi-organisation forum featuring all areas of
fundamental research in neuroscience and psychology. At the BNA 2021, Transpharmation is looking forward to being a part of the meeting, with our Cognition Lead and Scientific Liaison, John Huxter, presenting a workshop on improving translation between industry and academia in neuroscience under the topic of "Pitfalls and prospects for cognitive assays in preclinical research". Please feel free to visit us at our booth to discuss the specific translational models.

Transpharmation's EEG experts Dr. John Huxter and Dr. Sandor Kantor discussed how EEG can bridge the gap between basic research, preclinical drug discovery and human clinical trials at a virtual social (SO39) at the SfN Connectome on Tuesday 12th January at 9-10am EST (2-3pm GMT). This social stimulated discussion around what EEG measures offer the best hope for predicting clinical outcomes, probing strengths, weaknesses, and usage of measures like ASSR and MMN.
