Summary "Alzheimer's Disease Drug Development: A Research and Development Ecosystem captures the complexity of Alzheimer's disease (AD) drug develop and provides a comprehensive set of perspectives from the many stakeholders involved in discovering and developing new therapies for AD. There is no greater unmet therapeutic need for humanity than effective therapies for brain disorders. The suffering caused by these conditions and other neurodegenerative disorders is overwhelming and is burdened with substantial stigma. Therefore, I have devoted my professional life to changing the way brain disorders such as schizophrenia, depression, AD, among others are not only treated, but also viewed by society. From my time with the National Institutes of Health, Janssen and Johnson & Johnson where I serve as the Global Head of Science for Minds, my colleagues and I recognize there is still much to uncover about brain disorders due to the rich complexity of the brain and the challenges in accessing it. But that is not a reason to stop - especially as we enter the golden age of neuroscience, driven largely by scientific breakthroughs and accelerated regulatory pathways"-- Provided by publisher
