The conference aims to involve the relevant scientific communities in a discussion on the state of the art and future directions of research on neurotrophins investigating the potential of neurotrophins like Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), and others in therapeutic areas such as Ophthalmology and the Central Nervous System. The program, which will start on the afternoon of Tuesday, 11 June, and conclude in the early afternoon of Wednesday, 12 June, will feature a series of talks by expert scientists from research institutions worldwide, highlighting research investigating the therapeutic potential of neurotrophins for either ocular or Central Nervous System disorders. The conference will be focused on the role of neurotrophins in pathophysiological processes spanning from corneal, retinal and optic nerve degeneration to dysregulated cognitive and/or motor functions, impairment of synaptic plasticity and aberrant social behavior.
