Charles River Laboratories and CEBINA Announce Strategic Collaboration to Accelerate Cutting Edge Neuroscience Research
As part of the DanubeNeuro program,
CEBINA’s DanubeNeuro acceleration program identifies and develops pioneering research projects with the potential to create innovative drugs, diagnostic methods, disease biomarkers, and imaging techniques for neurodegenerative diseases. Projects selected for acceleration within DanubeNeuro will benefit from CEBINA’s experience from other acceleration programs, as well as Charles River’s knowledge and extensive expertise in drug discovery and development in the central nervous system (CNS) field. Together, Charles River and CEBINA will enhance this program’s potential to accelerate innovation in neurodegeneration.
"Being part of DanubeNeuro and collaborating with CEBINA aligns perfectly with our commitment to advancing scientific research and innovation," said
With the trend of increasing lifespan, age-related conditions such as neurodegenerative disorders represent major unmet medical needs globally, carrying significant and growing public health and societal implications. Given the urgent need for novel strategies and approaches to address complex diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, efforts to accelerate the development of innovative academic ideas into viable drug development programs are imperative.
"We are thrilled to partner with Charles River for our new acceleration program, DanubeNeuro," commented
“Since we launched DanubeNeuro 4 months ago, we have been impressed by the quality and quantity of academic research programs with highly innovative propositions and novel, disease modifying approaches to neurodegeneration. By collaborating with Charles River, we are tapping into vast experience and hands-on know-how in CNS drug development that substantially strengthens our initiative to execute drug discovery projects and deliver, high-quality product candidates for further development,” remarked
DanubeNeuro is supported by a dedicated fund, Danube BioVentures . DanubeNeuro features a rolling application process. Applications can be submitted at danubeneuro.com.
