SMi’s 13th Annual Conference
RNA Therapeutics
9-10 February, 2022 | Virtual Conference
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
SMi is proud to announce the 13th Annual RNA Therapeutics Conference taking place on 9 - 10 February 2022

RNA therapeutics is a rapidly expanding industry with increasingly growing potential for immunotherapy, personalised medicines, and treatment of genetic, infectious and chronic diseases. This is reflected with the value of the global antisense & RNA therapeutics market expected to reach USD 1.81 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 7.5%. Furthermore, the recent advent of CRISPR, an RNA-guided gene-editing technology, as well as new strides in the delivery of messenger RNA transcribed in vitro, have triggered a major expansion of the RNA-therapeutics field.

The RNA therapeutics industry has grown at an exponential rate in recent years, with an increased spotlight following the industry’s leading role in developing vaccines against COVID-19 in response to the global pandemic. This year’s conference will reflect on how the industry has adapted and played a pivotal role in global health over the past year and will discuss the takeaways for future mRNA therapeutic development. Furthermore, the 2022 agenda will explore innovations in novel and targeted delivery, RNAi innovations and antisense oligonucleotide therapeutics. Global experts from big pharma and leading biotechs will explore the emerging therapeutic applications of RNA with case studies on the treatment of cardiovascular disease, neurological diseases and oncology.

Join us in February 2022, as SMi’s 13th annual RNA Therapeutics Conference brings together industry experts from leading RNA therapeutics companies to gain an expert and holistic view on the latest developments of the industry.
