7th Non-Coding RNA & RNAi Therapeutics Conference

14 September 2016 - 15 September 2016

Emerging areas in RNA research provide great insight into promising therapeutic tools. Delivery has remained a solid focus for understanding how RNA has proven to play a vital and central role in all cellular function. Advances in cell selective delivery and the target abilities of RNAi demonstrate growth and maturity in the field. The excitement and interest that CRISPR brings continues to progress the evolution of genome editing tools. We will also dive into application of aptamers in diagnostic and therapeutic settings. This will include stability, affinity and specificity of oligonucleotide aptamer ligands and other delivery approaches as well. This meeting will create space for researchers to learn about the latest discoveries in the field, as well as share and discuss perspectives during networking sessions. Session topics include: I. CRISPR Mediated Genome Editing and Functional Screening II. Emerging Applications for Non-Coding RNAs in Basic and Clinical Research III. Therapeutic Delivery of Nucleic Acid-Based Drugs IV. Advances in RNAi, Antisense, and Non-Coding RNA-Based Drugs in Clinical Development
