Small Regulatory RNAs: From Bench to Bedside
2022-05-01 | Eldorado Hotel & Spa, 309 West San Francisco, Santa FE, NM, 87501-2131, United States
RNA-based therapeutics are already approved for a variety of human diseases. A large and diverse set of small regulatory RNAs have emerged as key regulators of gene expression during development and cellular homeostasis and are frequently mis-expressed in human disease. Their small size and molecular properties make small RNAs amenable as targets and therapeutics and provide physicians with a powerful new battery of agents to diagnose and treat disease. However, while thousands of small RNAs are known, relatively little is known about their roles and targets, and there is still a limited application of these molecules in the clinic. The specific aims of this meeting serve to address these deficiencies and are as follows: 1) Focus on the exciting biology of small regulatory RNAs, highlighting the best current research into the role that small RNAs play in fundamental processes; 2) Focus on the latest efforts to harness the power of these RNAs as agents in the fight against disease and provide the basic understanding that will drive the invention of powerful clinical tools; 3) Attract the best researchers working in small RNAs to one place for critical discussions that will advance the field and accelerate the bench to bedside use of this technology; and 4) Provide a stimulating environment where students, postdocs and junior investigators can present and discuss their research with the best minds in the field.

Cell & Gene Therapy USA 2022
2022-09-19 - 2022-09-21 | VIRTUAL
With over 20 CGTs projected to be approved by 2025, it’s clear that there are huge commercial and medical opportunities for precision medicine. But despite this unprecedented growth, unstable infrastructure, lack of standardization and novel scientific nuance means that there is still no industry blueprint for successful commercialization.
To realize this potential, precision medicine trailblazers must share lessons of launch success and overcome pain points to allow pharma to reinforce frameworks across manufacturing, market access and reimbursement to build infallible launch strategies across the board. Commercialization networks must go even further, transforming our healthcare system to guarantee scalable and sustainable growth.
Don’t get left behind.
Join us at Reuters Events: Cell and Gene Therapy USA where we have leaders from industry front runners to share their successes and pitfalls. With 30+ speakers, 5 case-studies and over 1500+ fellow CGT attendees – we will pioneer a new gold standard for commercialization, readying the world for CGT as a frontline treatment.
