RNA interference (RNAi) has the potential to become big business for all those involved. Less than 10 years after its discovery by Andrew Fire, Craig Mello and co-workers, since rewarded for their research with a Nobel Prize in 2006, this discovery is being touted as the new innovation craved by the pharmaceutical industry.
RNAi therapeutics research is still in the early stages of development, and therefore currently essentially not validated, making 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.
