Pradeep Nathan, Dir. Neuroscience, GSK, featured at Neuro Biomarkers meeting, Sept. 6th-7th, Zurich
Pradeep Nathan, Director of Neuroscience at GlaxoSmithKline, will give a featured presentation on 'What is the Value of Functional Imaging in Early Clinical Development?' at GTC's Neurological Biomarkers conference (Sept 6th-7th, 2012 in Zurich, Switzerland).
- (1888PressRelease) July 26, 2012 - Functional Imaging is being increasingly used in early clinical development to answer questions related to target engagement, differential efficacy and relationship with clinical outcome. However, the value of functional imaging is yet to be fully appreciated. Dr. Nathan will give examples of studies that have been done at GSK. fMRI has been used to address early clinical development questions. Dr. Nathan will outline where there is promise and where there are limitations for fMRI as a biomarker.
Professor Pradeep Nathan holds a joint appointment as Director of Neuroscience and Experimental Medicine at GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals and Lecturer in the Department of Psychiatry at Cambridge University. He is also an Adjunct Professor in the School of Psychology and Psychiatry at Monash University. Professor Nathan's research is primarily focused on the development of translational and biological markers of neurological and psychiatric disorders, neurochemical basis of cognitive function and drug discovery. He has published over 130 peer reviewed papers and has contributed to the pre-clinical and early clinical development of a number of new drug candidates for addiction, schizophrenia, Huntington's disease, and Alzheimer's disease.
GTC's Neurological Biomarkers conference is part of the 2nd Biomarkers Europe Summit and will bring together leading experts across the industry and academia to discuss the latest research and developments in the biomarker field. Other tracks of the summit include:
5th Oncology Biomarkers (Sept. 5th - 7th)
Inflammatory Biomarkers (Sept. 6th - 7th)
