Since 2012, the Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders has hosted a series of workshops examining different aspects of this challenge, including maximizing the translation of effective therapies from animal models to clinical practice and exploring the evidence needed to bring compounds that appear to be safe into human efficacy trials. On October 4, 2018, the Forum hosted a one-day public workshop that brought together experts and key stakeholders from academia, government, industry, and non-profit organizations to examine the scientific opportunities and challenges, as well as bioethical considerations, of genetically engineered nonhuman primate models for neuroscience research.
