8:55 am Chair’s Opening Remarks

Founder & Chief Executive Officer, GENUV, Inc.

Enhancing Collaboration Between Korean Biopharma & Global Pharmaceutical Partners

9:00 am Redefining Korean Biopharma Partnerships with China: Addressing the Complex Regulatory & Geopolitical Friction

Senior Vice President, AriBio
  • Outlining the first example of a Korean CNS asset out-licensed at Phase III vs.typical earlier-stage licensing deals
  • Demonstrating how Korean biopharma can retain and elevate their clinical assets to maximize financial returns
  • Innovative collaboration models in the biopharma industry between Korea and China

9:30 am Panel Discussion | Pharma’s Appetite for Innovation: What do Global Partners Seek in Novel Targets and Modalities?

Former Head of Research External Innovation, Sanofi
Senior Director, External Innovation, Eli Lilly & Co.
Director Regional Search & Evaluation, Novartis AG
Associate Director, Early-Stage Partnering Japan, Strategy & Portfolio Development, Takeda Pharmaceutical
VP, Neuroscience External Innovation, Johnson & Johnson
  • Which CNS indications and targets hold the greatest promise for investable disease‑modifying therapies?
  • What stage and type of data are needed to confidently support safety, target engagement, and MoA of new targets under evaluation?
  • Do you prioritize new modalities aligned with in‑house expertise, or are you open to partnering with specialists in novel modalities?

10:30 am Targeted Pharma Networking Session

Structured networking session offering the chance to connect directly with pharma panellists, ask targeted questions, and continue the discussion.

11:00 am Morning Coffee Break

Spotlighting Next Generation CNS Delivery Mechanisms

11:30 am InnoLAMP™ Microparticle Technology for Sustained CNS Delivery: A Once-Monthly Donepezil Formulation

Vice President, Head of Global Business Division, G2GBIO Inc.
  • Highlighting how long-acting microsphere technology could be applied for CNS indications, with reference to G2GBIO’s pipeline as an example
  • Explaining the drug-release mechanism of microspheres in the CNS
  • Demonstrating PK profile of monthly injectable Donepezil in animals and humans

12:00 pm Roundtable Discussion | TfR1, IGF1R, CD98 & Beyond: What Will the Next Generation of BBB Shuttles Look Like?

More practical and highly interactive breakout roundtables where attendees can crowd-source solutions and share

opinions around pre-assigned topic areas:

  • What can we learn and actionably take away from Denali’s enzyme transport therapy approval?
  • Comparing dual shuttle strategies vs combining a shuttle with a neuronal cell-specific target: what are the most promising approaches in development?
  • How can we better understand the receptor distribution, transcytosis mechanisms and biology of new potential BBB targets?

12:30 pm Networking Lunch Break

Spotlighting CNS Pipeline Innovation Spanning Neurodegeneration & Psychiatry

1:30 pm Neuroscience in Biopharma: Innovation Through Biology & De-Risking CNS Programs: Progress & Outlook

Head of Asia Drug Development, Lundbeck
  • Exploring Lundbeck’s evolution and outlook within neuroscience
  • Lundbeck R&D tactics for pipeline derisking through rigorous development process
  • Spotlighting on Lundbeck’s pipeline innovation and importance of collaborations and partnerships to advance neuroscience

2:00 pm An Overview of AbbVie’s Diverse Neuropsychiatry Pipeline

Head of Psychiatry, Neuroscience Clinical Development, Abbvie
  • Reviewing AbbVie’s abundant pipeline spanning a range of assets in mood disorders
  • Highlighting AbbVie’s priorities and commitment to advancing treatments in MDD, BPD and Schizophrenia
  • General overview of programs in Neurology, Neurodegeneration, Migraine and Pain

2:30 pm Targeting Nurr1 & Proteasome Activation in Parkinson’s Disease: Advancing MT101 for Phase II Initiation

Head of Research, Mthera Pharma
  • Reviewing pipeline development history of innovative botanical drug candidate, MT101, for Parkinson’s Disease
  • Demonstrating how Nurr1 activation induces dopaminergic gene expression and proteasome activation, subsequently inhibiting alpha-synuclein aggregation
  • Showcasing Phase I safety and tolerability data in elderly populations and detailing future directions for Phase IIa initiation in US

3:00 pm ADEL-Y03 (Anti-MHC-I-unbound β2-microglobulin Antibody) for Treatment of Neurodegenerative Diseases & Beyond

Head of Business Development, ADEL
  • Pathological Mechanism: β2m accumulation disrupts the neuro-immune axis and co-aggregates with Aβ, accelerating neurotoxic pathways and cognitive decline independently of amyloid plaques
  • Selective Strategy: ADEL-Y03 utilizes an epitope-focused design to specifically neutralize “free” β2m while sparing MHC-I, ensuring high safety and selectivity
  • Therapeutic Efficacy: Preclinical data confirms ADEL-Y03 rescues cognitive deficits in AD models and shows potential broader indications, including systemic fibrosis

3:30 pm Afternoon Break & Networking

Revolutionizing Translational Neuroscience & Mechanistic Biomarkers

4:00 pm Incorporating Novel Biomarkers into Routine Testing for Earlier, Presymptomatic Detection of Neurodevelopmental & Neuro-Oncology Indications

Senior Research Officer, Neuroscience, Johnson & Johnson
  • Case study 1: Leveraging protein factors found specifically in amniotic fluid todetect autism prior to third trimester
  • Case study 2: Utilizing CRISPR technology to identify markers present before the onset of glioblastoma

4:30 pm A Paradigm Shift in Neural Regeneration: Leveraging MoA-Driven Biomarkers & Oncology Precedents for Accelerated Clinical Success

Founder & Chief Executive Officer, GENUV, Inc.
  • Novel Target Discovery and AI Platform: Unlocking deeper therapeutic insights through the AI-driven discovery of neuroregenerative targets (encompassing neurogenesis, neuroprotection, and synaptogenesis) and the identification of mechanistically driven biomarkers
  • First-in-Human Translation in ALS: Translating insights from a First-in-Human (FIH) study evaluating a novel neuroregenerative therapeutic for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), while rethinking the clinical utility and limitations of peripheral blood Neurofilament Light (NfL) chain as a general structural marker
  • MoA-Specific Biomarkers in Companion Canine Patients: Showcasing the robust translational value of proprietary, mechanism-specific biomarker(s), which directly correlate with disease severity across diverse real-world companion canine patients suffering from natural neurodegenerative diseases
  • Strategic Imperatives: Defining actionable clinical development and biomarker strategies to bridge the translational gap, successfully delivering genuine, disease-modifying therapies to patients
