This session will focus on current research efforts in the area of neurological diseases. Improved oligonucleotide delivery and pharmacokinetics/interspecies scaling for neurological assessment based on age and exposure levels will be the focus of the session
Learning Objective : At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
  • Discuss the new areas of oligonucleotide research and potential treatments for neurological disorders
  • Better understand mechanisms of CNS uptake and pharmacokinetics of oligonucleotides
  • Identify nonclinical study design considerations for nonclinical studies of oligonucleotides for CNS disorders
