The Gladstone Institute of Neurological Disease and the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) co-organize an annual workshop addressing the latest developments, controversies and most critical unresolved issues in areas of common interest. In 2013, we will focus on accelerating the translation of scientific insights into new treatments for neurodegenerative diseases and other major neurological disorders. This 3rd Annual Gladstone/DZNE workshop is entitled "From Science to Therapeutics: The Best Way Forward" and will be held from Monday, April 15 through Wednesday, April 17, 2013 at the Gladstone Institutes in San Francisco.
