Strong neuropathological, genetic, and clinical evidence implicates tau protein abnormalities as having a central role in tauopathies and thus, there is a great interest in the development of tau-directed therapeutics. Boyd Ghosh, MBBS, PhD, University Hospital Southampton, Southampton, UK, shares his thoughts on the future of tauopathy treatment, including the potential of isoform-specific agents and combination strategies. This interview took place at The BNA 2023 International Festival of Neuroscience in Brighton, UK.
