• Expanding Frontiers in Neuroimmunology

    Jon Brotchie reports back with highlights from the recent Neuroimmunology Drug Development Summit in Boston, in particular how TREM2 is emerging as one of the most promising new targets for Parkinson’s, both in terms of mechanism and the variety of approaches we have to potentially manipulate it.

  • How AI could help dramatically change the drug discovery process

    The upside of integrating AI into the drug discovery process is potentially game-changing, though it’s also important to be clear-eyed and not get too caught up in the hype. Jon Brotchie reflects on AI’s potential benefits in drug development for Parkinson’s, from finding new and better molecules for novel un-imagined…

  • Parkinson’s disease prevalence is soaring—but is there a good news story hidden in the data?

    As Parkinson’s becomes the fastest-growing neurological disorder worldwide, its rising prevalence raises urgent questions about public health and economic impact. Could improved diagnosis, treatment, and life expectancy offer a hidden silver lining within the statistics?

  • Highlights from Neuroscience 2024

    At the annual summit of the Society for Neuroscience in Chicago, it was clearer than ever that collaboration and advancing technologies are central to moving the field forward.
