Biomarkers Working Group Activity / Deliverables

Chairs: Steven Potkin, MD, Don Goff, MD
Objectives: CNS drug developers currently lack many of the tools necessary to implement the use of biomarkers in the later stages of the drug development process. Given this, and the burden of development and qualification of biomarkers in terms of both time and cost, the formation of collaborative international groups to undertake these biomarker related challenges is essential. These challenges provide a unique opportunity for meaningful industry-academia-government collaboration.
