II Symposium Neuron Bio
	Title: Discovery Platforms for Alzheimer Disease
	Dates: 21&22 October 2013
	Objective:
	The main goal of the II Symposium Neuron will be the discussion of the recent advances in the technologies to discover and develop new drugs to treat or prevent the Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The recent clinical failures in the drugs for AD suggest the need to redesign the classical discovery strategies and open the field to design new screening tools and in vivo models to improve the success in the identification of new chemical entities to treat neurodegeneration.
	Sessions:
	21 morning (2 lectures) – Session: Innovation in Drug Discovery Platforms (in silico & in vitro methods)
	21 afternoon (2 lectures) – Intermediate models in the discovery and development of neuroprotective drugs.
	22 morning (2 lectures & a roundtable) – Reviewing rodent models for AD
	Location: Granada, Spain
