Charles River Laboratories International, Inc. (NYSE: CRL) today announced that its team of leading Central Nervous System (CNS) and neurological disease experts is presenting 25 scientific posters and one podium presentation, both independently and collaboratively with clients, at Neuroscience 2016, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience (SfN). The meeting, which brings together over 30,000 researchers from more than 80 countries, is taking place from November 12-16 in San Diego, California.
“The field of neuroscience is rapidly changing and evolving,” said Patrick Sweeney, Managing Director of Charles River Discovery Services. “At this year’s conference, we will host two scientific discussions on the development of therapeutics for aging and the in vitro and in vivo aspects of drug discovery. We see Neuroscience 2016 as an important opportunity for our experts to collaborate with top scientists from across the globe, sharing our scientific expertise and learning from colleagues.”
Among the posters the Charles River team will present are innovative tools and applications for research targeting Huntington’s, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, and other neurological disorders. Noteworthy examples include:
Additionally, the Charles River team, in conjunction with Sage Therapeutics, will participate in a nanosymposium titled “Epilepsy: Mechanisms” to discuss an optimized high-throughput screening approach to identify positive allosteric modulators of N-methyl-D-aspartate glutamate receptors (NMDARs), which are promising therapeutic targets for numerous neurological indications. This symposium will be held on Monday, November 14, 2016. Nikolai Fedorov, Principal Scientist, Discovery Screening Services at Charles River, will present at 10:00am PST. As a part of its continued focus on high-throughput screening as a mechanism for studying CNS, Charles River recently expanded its ion channel capabilities through the addition of a Sophion Qube 384-well automated patch-clamp platform.
A full schedule of Charles River’s activities during Neuroscience 2016 is available on our website, and reprints of each poster are available in Charles River’s booth (#1619) during the conference. Additionally, CNS experts are available for meetings with those interested in discussing neuroscience research and drug discovery. Throughout the conference, Charles River will be providing live updates on the Eureka Blog, including reviews of scientific sessions and input on the research being presented.
