We are delighted to invite you to attend our 12th international Oxford conference on antisense and therapeutic nucleic acids. The conference is aimed at bringing together chemists and biologists from academia and industry to discuss the latest advances and breakthroughs in the development of synthetic oligonucleotides as therapeutics, and will feature:
>High-impact talks and discussions
>International faculty of senior and emerging researchers from academia and industry
>Poster presentations and networking opportunities
Get involved in shaping the conference agenda: We invite oral and poster abstracts on therapeutic applications of nucleic acids, including:
>Antisense & catalytic oligonucloetides, aptamers, siRNAs, miRNAs, antagomirs/blockmirs
>Nucleic acid-based vaccines (viral vectors, mRNA)
>Gene therapy and genome editing
>Chemical and in vivo modification of nucleic acids
>Nucleic acid delivery strategies
>New technologies
We particularly encourage final year doctoral students and early/mid-career postdoctoral researchers/junior group leaders to submit abstracts, as we believe this event will provide their research an excellent exposure, critical analysis by attending senior researchers and new career opportunities.
We welcome oral and poster presentation themes/abstracts for pre-approval via the following link:
