Welcome to OLIGO 2015 Oxford

We are delighted to announce our first Oxford Symposium on antisense and therapeutic oligonucleotides. 

The symposium 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. We hope this symposium will form the foundations of an annual gathering of oligonucleotide researchers at Oxford.

The symposium agenda is currently in progress. We invite proposal for oral presentations, in particular on THERAPEUTIC APPLICATIONS AND DELIVERY STRATEGIES of synthetic oligonucleotides, including:

>Antisense oligonucloetides
>Antagomirs
>Chemical modifications
>Toxicity and pharmacokinetics
>Delivery strategies
