About

Accelerating Diagnosis and Treatment of Neurological Diseases
 
The Bionow Neuroscience conference, now in its second year after the success of 2024, will bring together academics, clinicians and industry experts in the spirit of collaboration and growth.
 
Conference sessions aim to highlight the strengths in the discovery, development and commercialisation of neuroscience treatments and technologies across the north of England and beyond. The event will showcase key developments across neuroscience, including a range of neurological diseases and conditions.

Why attend?
 
The Bionow Neuroscience conference will explore the current challenges and opportunities facing the sector, highlighting new approaches that will create opportunities for R&D, commercialisation and implementation while considering the impact on patient outcomes.
 
Bringing expertise, funding and new technologies together in the neuroscience field is one of the biggest challenges facing the Life Sciences sector. The aim of this conference is to combine all these elements and contribute to the eradication of these diseases.

The agenda will cover a range of topics, including translational neuroscience and commercialisation; patient perspectives; psychiatric disorders; drug delivery to the brain; and rare conditions, alongside keynote presentations, networking and the conference poster competition.

Call for posters

There is no better way to showcase new developments, ongoing research projects and speculative or innovative work in progress in the neuroscience field. Authors are invited to submit an abstract which is related to the area of Neuroscience.

The posters are intended to provide authors and participants with a greater understanding of the subject matter and to engage in discussions about the work.

PLUS: Start-ups and spinouts, we want to hear from you! If you have an exciting new development you'd like to promote, submit a poster using the link below and showcase your innovations to industry colleagues and experts.
