Abstract:

On June 24, 2010 PAN hosted a panel discussion at Georgetown University featuring leading experts in the field of research. This discussion focused on the drug development pipeline, and how the different stages of drug development can work together in a better way to hasten the development of new drugs and therapies. Over 500 people from across America have viewed the Webcast to-date. We expect more people to view the archive of the Webcast on the PAN website here httpwww.parkinsonsaction.orgparkinsons-diseaseemerging-therapies-webcast . The discussion on the program was not specific to Parkinson s disease and is applicable to clinical research generally. PAN hopes this will prove to be an invaluable resource, not only to the Parkinson s disease community, but all communities focused on speeding the development of new drugs and therapies.
