Developing diagnostics and treatments for brain disorders
The Global Impact of Brain Disorders
Brain disorders are the leading cause of disability and death worldwide, second only to cardiovascular diseases View Article. Currently, over one billion people are affected globally, and the number of patients is growing rapidly with the aging and increasing global population View Article.
Acquired neurological disorders, traumatic brain injury, and concussion affect ~70 million people worldwide each year, adding to the millions who are already suffering from a wide variety of TBI-induced diseases. Current treatments are aimed to alleviate symptoms, not the underlying pathology, causing significant side effects.
Challenges in TBI/Concussion Treatment
Unmet needs
Effective disease-modifying treatments
Roadblocks
Lack of high-fidelity modeling mimicking clinical trial design for candidate drug screening
Lack of adaptive molecular diagnostic platforms that can identify the molecular pathologies of TBI-induced neurological conditions
Lack of algorithms that can integrate molecular level information with other modalities (e.g. neuroimaging) and with clinical symptoms to assess therapeutic efficacy
Opportunities
The rapid development of various Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technologies and applications open new opportunities to identify the best diagnostic toolsets and to connect various diagnostic modalities that will identify the molecular pathobiology underlying clinical symptoms that will enable to identify molecular targets for drug development and assess treatment efficacy.
