RNAi Europe - New speakers added to the agenda
Last year’s RNAi Europe, held in Prague, was a great success. The attendees (200+) were very pleased with the standard of the lectures and the networking facilities offered by the adjacent exhibition (28 exhibits – 47 scientific posters).
“The RNAi Europe 2006 conference was even better than the 2005 conference. Scientific content was excellent, attendance was high, and there was a great sense of vitality and excitement.” said Mark Belke, IDT DNA.
Jens Kurreck also declared last year: “It was a highly interesting meeting with a number of excellent talks; a great opportunity to meet other researchers in the field and discuss possible interactions and the conference was very well organised.”
Encouraged by such an enthusiastic feedback from the attendees, Select Biosciences is proud to announce their 4th annual RNAi Europe, to be held on September 20-21 in Barcelona. In addition, responding to public demand, a microRNA Symposium is organised this year on the day prior to the event.
The following distinguished speakers have already confirmed their participation for the overall event:
- Reuven Agami, Associated Professor, Netherlands Cancer Institute
- George Calin, MD Anderson Cancer Centre, University of Texas
- Anastasia Khvorova, Chief Scientific Officer Dharmacon Products, Thermo Fisher Scientific
- Jens Kurreck, Group Leader, Berlin Free University
- Judy Lieberman, Senior Investigator, Harvard Medical School
- Eric Miska, Senior Fellow, Wellcome Trust/Cancer Research UK
- Minoo Rassoulzadegan, Director, Inserm
- Dmitry Samarsky, Vice President, Technology Development, RXi Pharmaceuticals
The respective agendas, both available online, will develop the following topics:
microRNA Symposium
- Biology of microRNA
- microRNAs in Cancer
RNAi Europe
- RNA Technologies
- Emerging Themes in RNAi
- RNAi-Based Therapeutics
In order to ensure a cost-effective trip, delegates can register to both meetings and will have access to the exhibition, and also can opt to attend a parallel business tutorial: RNAi and microRNA: Market Landscape and Emerging Opportunities, to be held on September 21, in the afternoon.
Finally Select Biosciences has negotiated special rates with the Hesperia Hotel, the conference venue, for all their attendees.
