8:00 am Check-In & Morning Coffee
8:55 am Chair’s Opening Remarks
Enhancing Collaboration Between Korean Biopharma & Global Pharmaceutical Partners
9:00 am Redefining Korean Biopharma Partnerships with China: Addressing the Complex Regulatory & Geopolitical Friction
- 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?
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
