Although the enormous burdens from mental illness<br />
continue, pharmaceutical and biotech companies<br />
have been deterred from investing in CNS drug<br />
development due in part to some costly late-stage<br />
failures. Reversing these trends will require identifying<br />
new therapeutic targets and de-risking them. This<br />
presentation will provide an overview of some<br />
recent research findings illustrating potential disease<br />
mechanisms and new therapeutic targets. Findings<br />
such as these may offer translational opportunities to<br />
develop the next generation of treatments for mental<br />
illness.<br />
