Improving clinical translation in neuroscience research has always been a major challenge until now. There are many research collaborations happening in the neuroscience space today for neurodegenerative disorders research. The conference will focus on discussing the latest technologies in the preclinical, translational neuroscience space and also drawing the attention of the audience towards new innovations happening in translational neuroscience imaging. The conference further aims to bring in the experts from academia and industry together to discuss how to create new, more effective translational neuroscience drawing on novel technology and recent discoveries.

Learn from 20+ industry leading speakers who will be sharing their presentations on CNS drug discovery, Latest Optogenetic tools, kinematic techniques, Blood-Brain Barrier Proteomics and Non-Invasive electrical brain stimulation.

Case studies presented from leading technology collaborations, Interactive panel and breakout sessions along with Access to online presentations on-demand post-summit.

First ever conference on application of technology in developing neurological treatments.

Meet 100+ global heads of neuroscience from the industry and Academics.
