SUMMARY:Workshop Intellectual Property for Drug Repurposing (hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Intellectual Property for Drug Repurposing \nDrug repurposing offers major opportunities to accelerate the development of new treatments\, particularly for rare diseases. Intellectual property (IP) can play an important role in determining whether repurposed therapies can be developed in a socially responsible way and ultimately reach patients. \nThis workshop is organised by RARE-NL in collaboration with the Netherlands Patent Office (part of the Ministry of Economic Affairs). The session provides a practical introduction to intellectual property in the context of drug repurposing and socially responsible development of medicines. \nWhat you will learn and what to expect \nThis interactive workshop provides a practical introduction to intellectual property and its role in drug repurposing. Participants will gain insight into: \n• The basic principles of intellectual property and patent protection relevant to drug repurposing\n• How IP and regulatory exclusivities influence development strategies and patient access\n• How second medical use patents and other protection strategies are applied in repurposing\n• How to search and interpret patent information using publicly available databases\n• How IP can be used strategically to support responsible development\, collaborations and follow-up funding \nThe session includes practical examples\, case discussions and opportunities to ask project-specific questions. Part of the workshop will be hands-on; participants attending on site are encouraged to bring a laptop or tablet\, as working with patent databases is not suitable on a smartphone. No prior IP experience is required. \nWhy RARE-NL organises this workshop \nRARE-NL supports researchers and other project teams who aim to translate academic and clinical repurposing research into real-world patient access under socially responsible terms. Within drug repurposing\, intellectual property is often approached mainly from a legal or commercial perspective. However\, IP can also be used as a strategic tool to support responsible development\, enable sustainable licensing approaches and improve long-term accessibility of therapies for patients. \nUnderstanding IP early in a development trajectory helps projects make informed choices\, position themselves more strongly for collaborations and follow-up funding\, and ultimately unlock the full potential of drug repurposing. \nPractical information \nDate: 14 April 2026\nSpeaker: Dr. Britta Helwig\, Adviseur Intellectueel Eigendom | Onderzoek & Valorisatie (Netherlands Patent Office)\nTime: 15:00 – 17:00\nFormat: Hybrid (on site at Radboudumc and online participation possible)\nLocation (on site): Radboudumc Experience Center\, M260.-1.102\, Waalbrug A\, route 7 \nRegister here: Registration for Workshop Intellectual Property for Drug Repurposing – RARE-NL

SUMMARY:Drug Repurposing Venture Challenge | FAST
DESCRIPTION:Vanaf 12 februari is de inschrijving voor de tweede editie van de Drug Repurposing Venture Challenge geopend. Het doel is om in 3 maanden een wetenschappelijke doorbraak op het gebied van drug repurposing te ontwikkelen tot een solide plan om het medicijn op de markt en de patiënt te brengen. Tijdens deze challenge ontwikkelen onderzoekers onder begeleiding een venture plan. De Venture Challenge is bedoeld voor onderzoekers en/of beginnende ondernemers in de Life Sciences. Teams kunnen zich tot 7 april aanmelden. \nVan idee naar patiënt\nDrug repurposing is een van de speerpunten van FAST en ZonMw (Goed Gebruik Geneesmiddelen). Drug repurposing heeft de belofte van snellere en betaalbare therapieontwikkeling\, onder andere voor (zeldzame) ziekten waar nog geen behandelingen voor zijn. Om repurposed medicijnen bij de patiënt te krijgen op een maatschappelijk verantwoorde wijze faciliteren ZonMw en FAST verschillende initiatieven. Zo maakt ZonMw bijvoorbeeld de financieringsronde drug repurposing mogelijk en is consortiumpartner in het Europese drug repurposing initiatief REMEDi4ALL. \nMet deze Venture Challenge willen ZonMw en FAST in de praktijk aantonen dat drug repurposing de belofte van ‘sneller\, betaalbaarder en beschikbaar voor de patiënt’ kan waarmaken op een maatschappelijk verantwoorde manier. Dit gebeurt door te ondernemen op basis van de principes van maatschappelijk verantwoord licentiëren. \nWat houdt de Drug Repurposing Venture Challenge in\nExperts\, uit onder andere de industrie\, dagen in deze Venture Challenge deelnemers uit om aan de hand van een levensvatbare commerciële strategie onder begeleiding een drug repurposing idee op een maatschappelijk verantwoorde wijze bij de patiënt te krijgen. \nDe Venture Challenge bestaat uit twee 3-daagse bootcamps\, coachingsessies\, een finaledag en een prijsuitreiking. De begeleiding van de teams is in handen van GameChanger Challenge BV\, die bestaat uit een team van ervaren ondernemers. Na het tot stand komen van het venture plan beslist een jury\, bestaande uit doorgewinterde ondernemers en investeerders\, wie het prijzengeld van € 20.000\,- wint\, die besteed moet worden aan de doorontwikkeling van drug repurposing concepten. \nVoor wie\nDe Drug Repurposing Venture Challenge is bedoeld voor onderzoekers en/of beginnende ondernemers in de Life Sciences die een spin-off willen creëren. Het programma richt zich specifiek op ‘repurposing’ van farmaceutische producten. Het gaat hier om bestaande medicijnen die worden onderzocht op effectiviteit voor een veelbelovende nieuwe indicatie waarvoor het middel (nog) niet is geregistreerd. \nHet team dient gezamenlijk het volledige traject te doorlopen en alle bijeenkomsten bij te wonen. Ook wordt tijd gevraagd voor de coachingsessies en het uitwerken van het venture plan. Deze tijdsinvestering vindt plaats tussen juni tot en met oktober 2026. \nAanmelden en selectie\nAanmelden kan tot 7 april 2026 voor 14:00 uur en verloopt via het registratieformulier. Uit de aanmeldingen vindt een selectie plaats van de teams die het beste aansluiten op het beoogde programma. Er kunnen maximaal 6 teams deelnemen. \nDeelnemen aan de Drug Repurposing Venture Challenge kan met een team van 3 tot 4 personen\, De kosten voor deelname aan de Drug Repurposing Venture Challenge zijn € 2000\,- per team van 3 (plus € 500\,- voor 1 extra teamlid). \nMeer informatie\nUitgebreide informatie over de Drug Repurposing Venture Challenge\, de criteria en het tijdpad is te vinden op deze webpagina.

SUMMARY:Methods in Cancer Neuroscience
DESCRIPTION:Course\nCancer neuroscience is a growing field that incorporates the study of malignancies\, the nerves that infiltrate them and neuronal influences on disease initiation\, its progression and the overall state of the host. The molecular\, biological\, immunological and neuronal understanding of these complex interactions requires multi-disciplinary approaches and methodologies that have historically been relegated to non-cancer fields. The Methods in Cancer Neuroscience is a short\, intensive sixteen day hands-on course that will provide training in techniques necessary to define the complex influence of nerves in cancer. These techniques will span the areas of modelling cancer through orthotopic or systemic inoculation\, viral injections and fiber optic placement for optogenetic\, cranial window implantation and two photon video-microscopy\, virus injections for neuronal tract tracing\, behavioral assays\, primary neuron and glia isolation and co-culture with cancer cells/ immune cell\, and stable cell line generation\, in vivo electrophysiology and data analysis\, immunolabeling of co-cultures\, functional assays (i.e.\, neurite outgrowth\, clonogenic assays\, and others)\, mouse brain organotypic cultures\, advanced analysis of calcium reporters\, scRNA-seq and data analysis\, among other techniques. Lectures and techniques will be taught by the leaders in the field. Trainees will also benefit from interacting with and establishing fruitful collaborations with instructors. \n\nTechniques to be Taught\nCranial window implantation and 2P video microscopy\nViral injections & fiber optic placement\nViral injection for tracing\nIn vivo electrophysiology and data analysis\nOptogenetics\nFunctional assays\nIn vitro calcium reporter test\nImage analysis: fixed and dynamic data\nFrom the brain to the 10X: tissue preparation and QC\nSingle cell spatial omics in cancer-neuroscience\nCo-cultures neurons and immune system\nGeneration of stable cell lines\nTissue clearing\nSchwan cell isolation and culture\nInoculation of cancer cells\nBLI analysis and tissue processing of CNS tumors\nBrain organotypic cultures\nBehavioral tests\nDRGs isolation and co-culture with cancer cells\nImmunolabelling of co-cultures\n\nMulti-electrode array (MEA) \n\n\n\nApplication Deadline\nJanuary 9\, 2026 \nDuration\nMarch 9th-March 25th \nFor more information and registration click here.
