London St James, London, UK RNAi therapeutics research is still in the early stages of development, and therefore currently essentially not validated, meaning learning from the mistakes and successes of others working in this field is invaluable. With the market estimated to be worth more than $3 billion in 2007, and growing, this is one area of research Pharma can’t afford not to be involved in. SMi’s 4th RNAi, siRNA & miRNA conference aims to bring together industry experts from both large Pharma and smaller biotechs to discuss the successes and pitfalls of their research into this area. Covering developments in therapeutics, and providing a critical overview of current RNAi therapeutics this conference could prove to be the insight needed to boost your companies profile in the RNAi and related oligonucleotides field. PLUS TWO ASSOCIATED PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS Morning Workshop: Delivery of Oligonucleotide-Based Drugs 9th June 2009, London, UK In association with Exiqon Afternoon Workshop: MicroRNAs and Oncology Drug Development 9th June 2009, London, UK Lead by Georg Sczakiel, Professor, Universitat zu Lubeck (PM) With MicroRNAs and Oncology Drug Delivery to be addressed by Qiagen in the morning and the Delivery of Oligonucleotide-Based Drugs in the afternoon with Professor Georg Sczakiel, this is a not to be missed event.
