A novel system for drug discovery
Yiota Poirazi · EU Research · 2023
The pharmaceutical industry mainly uses cellular assays to assess drug effectiveness, yet this doesn’t provide information about the effects on neuronal communication, which is disrupted in neurodegenerative diseases. Researchers in the NEUREKA project are developing a novel drug screening system which could facilitate the drug discovery process for neurodegenerative diseases, as Dr Yiota Poirazi explains.
