We are working towards a future where we can impact the underlying causes of certain epilepsies and change the course of disease. But such innovation isn’t easy, so we work hard at creating the right surroundings and culture that nurtures and fosters innovation. We will monitor for new disruptive technologies, expand our therapeutic modality platforms, and seek out partners that can help us pioneer new approaches to drug discovery.<br> <br> So, we are pleased with the <a href="https://new.gliapharm.com/collaborationucb/">recent news</a>&nbsp;that ֳ entered a drug discovery collaboration with GliaPharm. Co-founded by Prof. Pierre Magistretti, GliaPharm develops treatments for neurological and psychiatric disorders. Their therapeutic approach is to target glial cells, the “support cells” of neurons, and to develop new drugs that target glia-mediated pathways as agents for neuroprotection and maintenance of cognitive functions. Under the collaboration, GliaPharm will use their proprietary GliaX technology platform to validate a series of therapeutic targets that we believe will enhance ֳ's efforts in discovering drugs for epilepsy.<br> <br> When you look at collaborations like this and the connectivity we have between our people, disciplines and technology, we think it’s a powerful R&amp;D mix that we hope will enable us to develop solutions that move from symptomatic relief to those that could address the underlying causes of certain epilepsies.<br> <br> So if you want to join a connected team who are in the pursuit of continuous innating then take a look at our R&amp;D vacancies <a href="https://careers.ucb.com/global/en/research-development-all-jobs">here</a>.<br> &nbsp;</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-newsroom-category field--type-entity-reference field--label-above field__items"> <a href="/taxonomy/term/1910" hreflang="en">innovation</a> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-newsroom-tags field--type-entity-reference field--label-above field__items"> <a href="/taxonomy/term/5438" hreflang="en"> R&amp;D</a> <a href="/taxonomy/term/1740" hreflang="en"> Drug discovery</a> <a href="/taxonomy/term/5437" hreflang="en"> epilepsy</a> <a href="/taxonomy/term/10251" hreflang="en">GliaPharm</a> <a href="/taxonomy/term/1650" hreflang="en"> collaboration </a> </div> <div> <div class="comments-wrapper"> <div class="comment-area"> <h2 class="red">Leave a Comment</h2> <drupal-render-placeholder callback="comment.lazy_builders:renderForm" arguments="0=node&amp;1=14641&amp;2=field_newsroom_askexpert&amp;3=ask_expert" token="PWVleNfNIKNQaMxuOalZEPf8OWQEdHw323HwVlO67Qg"></drupal-render-placeholder> <span class="toggle-form js-toggle-form"></span> </div> </div> </div> <span class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_16 addtoany_list" data-a2a-url="/innovation/magazine/detail/article/we-embrace-collaboration" data-a2a-title="We embrace collaboration "><a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share" href="https://www.addtoany.com/share#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ucb.com%2Finnovation%2Fmagazine%2Fdetail%2Farticle%2Fwe-embrace-collaboration&amp;title=We%20embrace%20collaboration%20"></a><a class="a2a_button a2a_button_facebook"><img src="/themes/custom/ucb_premier/images/a2a/facebook-icon.svg" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="linkedin"></a><a class="a2a_button a2a_button_linkedin"><img src="/themes/custom/ucb_premier/images/a2a/linkedin-icon.svg" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="linkedin"></a><a class="a2a_button a2a_button_twitter"><img src="/themes/custom/ucb_premier/images/a2a/twitter-icon.svg" width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="twitter"></a></span> <div class="field field--name-field-like field--type-likes-dislikes field--label-above field__items"> <div class="like_dislike"> <div class="like"> <a rel="nofollow" class="use-ajax" href="/like-dislike/like/eyJlbnRpdHlfdHlwZSI6Im5vZGUiLCJlbnRpdHlfaWQiOiIxNDY0MSIsImZpZWxkX25hbWUiOiJmaWVsZF9saWtlIiwibGlrZXMiOiI0NjgiLCJkaXNsaWtlcyI6Ii01MyJ9"></a> <span class="like-14641"> 468 Likes </span> </div> </div> <div id="like_dislike_status"></div> </div> Fri, 14 Oct 2022 10:14:37 +0000 Vanco Vlastimil (ֳ S.A.) 14641 at
