In 2012, SMi's RNAi, miRNA and siRNA conference will focus on the utility of nanotechnology to aid delivery and the development of novel therapeutics in the field. This event will provide a unique opportunity for debate and problem solving for key challenges facing RNAi development, as well as allowing leading experts from RNAi and Nanotechnolgy to work together to discuss current issues.
With senior industry executives all providing case-study led presentations on their current work in a variety of different therapeutic areas; from oncology to respiratory and novel therapeutic strategies in Epigenetics and Computational Support this year’s conference is not to be missed!
The event will provide a complete picture of developments in the RNAi field, focusing on siRNA Development, Nano-enabled Nucleic Acid Delivery as well asas technological, regulatory and intellectual property updates and will be the ideal opportunity for problem-solving discussion and idea-sharing debate.
Feedback on last year's event included:
"A thoroughly enjoyable and informative event with a diverse group of attendees that helped shed light on various analysis of this complex field"
"Well represented by high collar attendees”
"A very positive experience. Thank you organisers!"
