Midwest Symposium for Oligonucleotide Therapeutics - November 12-13
Free Registration (virtual, in-person)
| | |
|
|
Eli Lilly is sponsoring a Midwest Symposium for Oligonucleotide Therapeutics (Nov 12-13) at the Hilton Indianapolis Hotel and Suites. Registration is free and it is a great opportunity for students (and PIs) to network, learn about RNA therapeutics from leading experts in the field, and share their work on RNA biology, oligonucleotide chemistry, RNA/DNA editing, and/or oligonucleotide delivery.
We have an exciting line up of keynote and invited speakers committed to present at the symposium. These include Stanley Crooke (Ionis, n-Lorem Foundation), Ron Weiss (MIT), Sudhir Agrawal (University of Massachusetts, ARNAY Sciences), Thomas Gaj (University of Illinois), and Craig Duvall (Vanderbilt University). Register at the link above.
