Rhenovia at Neuroscience 2008 Washington DC: 15-19 November


Walter E. Washington Convention Center

The Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC will host Neuroscience 2008. More than 30,000 people are expected to attend.

Neuroscience 2008, the Society for Neuroscience's 38th annual meeting, is scheduled for Nov. 15 to 19 in Washington, DC. Each year SfN provides the premier venue for neuroscientists to share research findings. By attending lectures, symposia, and workshops, meeting attendees experience the most exciting and cutting-edge research the field of neuroscience has to offer.

14 October 2008 - Rhenovia at MIPTEC Basel 14-16 October 2008

Rhenovia at  MIPTEC Basel 14-16 October 2008

MipTec is the premier European conference and exhibition encompassing innovative approaches to high quality science and technology for efficient drug discovery. The mission of MipTec is to bring together scientists from all disciplines involved in drug discovery within pharmaceutical and biotech companies, academic labs and technology providers in an atmosphere where ideas and experiences are shared and discussed. This atmosphere is created through a scientific program covering key topics and the latest breakthroughs in the diverse fields that make up drug discovery.

Modeling and Biosimulation of CNS Diseases: A novel technology for Drug Development

Neurological as well as psychiatric disorders are extremely complex, multifactorial and dynamical diseases. These diseases are most probably of multiple origins and involve separately, independly or simultaneously different physiological functions, multiple pathways, and neuronal/gial connectivity. They might also affect dynamical features such as feedback-feedforward regulations, cross talk between cellular and intracellular mechanisms as well as the kinetic parameters of the interactions between the drugs used to treat them and their targets. For these reasons, the conventional drug discovery appproach that has been followed by the pharma industry over the last two decades might not be fully adequate to adress the multiple facets of these diseases. In particular, the single-target , single-mechanism approach so suited for high-throughput screening may not result in optimal identification of candidate therapeutics. We propose an alternative drug discovery strategy which takes into account most of these considerations: a) complexity, by developing a unique technology which allows to establish the pharmacological properties of a molecule based on its actions on physiological functions integrating their dynamic features; b) multiple facets of the diseases, by identifying most appropriate combinations of two or more drug principles providing synergistic pharmacological effects, and c) efficacy and safety, by decreasing risks of side effects. To this aim, we utilize a hybrid approach combining computer-assisted simulation of the molecular events taking place at excitatory glutamatergic synapses embedded into small neuronal networks and experimental validation. We propose that this approach will lead to the identification of the most appropriate targets to develop cognitive enhancers, and thereby the most suitable drug combinations with synergistics effects

ABSTRACT

EONS modeling platform is a resourceful learning and research tool to study the mechanisms underlying the non–linear dynamics of synaptic transmission with the aid of mathematical models. Mathematical modeling of information processing in CNS pathways, in particular modeling of molecular events and synaptic dynamics, have not been extensively developed owing to the complex computations involved in integrating a multitude of parameters. In this paper, we discuss the development of a strategy to adapt the EONS synaptic modeling platform to a multi-node environment using a parallel computational framework to compute data intensive long simulations in a shorter time frame. We describe how this strategy can be applied to (i) determine the optimal values of the numerous parameters required for fitting experimental data, (ii) determine the impact of all parameters on various aspects of synaptic transmission (under normal conditions or conditions mimicking pathological conditions) and (iii) study the effects of exogenous molecules on both healthy and pathological synaptic models.
