The Midwest Symposium on Oligonucleotide Therapeutics is a grassroots meeting in Indianapolis supported by an Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Society (OTS) Local Delivery Grant. This regional meeting is hosted by OTS members, Rebecca Miles and Leonora Abdullahu with the objective to share knowledge among oligonucleotide therapeutic researchers. We hope to serve the student community in the Midwest to create an affordable and high value scientific meeting that will cultivate professional development and networking.
