Fireside Chat: Understanding the Potential and Limitations of Nasal Drug Delivery for Chronic CNS Indications
Panellists: Whitney Binder, Stephen Shrewsbury
Synopsis
Given the direct access to the brain through the olfactory region in the upper nasal space, the potential of utilizing the nasal route for next generation of CNS indications has become an exciting area of interest for industry leaders in the field.
Hear perspectives from both pioneering and next generation experts as they discuss the opportunities of utilizing the nose-to-brain pathway for game changing CNS therapeutics.
