Meeting

The IOM Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders organized a workshop on Neuroscience Biomarkers and Biosignatures: Converging Technologies, Emerging Partnerships, that was held in on February 26th, 2007.  The meeting was held in Washington, DC at the National Academy of Sciences.

The workshop brought together experts from multiple areas to discuss the most promising and practical arenas in neuroscience in which biomarkers will have the greatest impact. The main objective of the workshop was to identify and discuss biomarker targets that are not currently being aggressively pursued but that could have the greatest near-term impact on the rate at which new treatments are brought forward for psychiatric and neurological disorders.
