Neuronal Imaging for Central Nervous Systems Drugs
Sponsored by Photon etcJul 27 2018
The Biosimulation and Imaging platform for new Central Nervous System drugs (BICNSD) is a 3 year project for the validation and development of a unique service based on biosimulation and imaging using two synergistic platforms. This will boost drug development and discovery through tracking drug candidates’ actions at molecular and subcellular levels and having a greater understanding of Central Nervous System (CNS) diseases.

The multiplex cellular fluorescence imaging platform will be developed by Photon etc with the collaboration of Professor Paul de Koninck of the Neurophotonics Centre of Université Laval in Québec, while Rhenovia Pharma will carry out the biosimulation of drug delivery in the central nervous system.
