Drug Disc Neurodegenerative

Catalog description

The goal of this course is to examine the drug discovery process for neurodegenerative disorders. Using Alzheimer's disease as a model, we will examine the diagnosis, epidemiology, current therapeutics, and strategies for drug discovery. The in vitro disease models with resulting outcomes in translational studies will be discussed. At the end of the course students will utilize NIH guidelines to develop their own proposal for future studies.
