As a case study, the panel discussed Alzheimer’s and several drugs in development for that disease, but also addressed broader concerns related to the pharmaceutical testing pipeline for unmet medical needs as a whole. This event was presented in partnership with HHMI Tangled Bank Studios, in collaboration with STAT, and in association with NOVA.
