Overview

Welcome to the miRNA and non coding RNA track of the Genomics Research conference and exhibition.

This conference will detail the cutting edge research taking place in the two fields with a particular emphasis on the complex roles microRNA play in cancer and disease,their regulation and biogenesis. The latest developments in both therapeutics and delivery of RNAi based medicines will also be discussed to help map out the commercial trends occurring in this field.

Other conference tracks at this event include Epigenetics, Advances in qPCR and Next Generation Sequencing. Registered delegates will have access to all four meetings ensuring a very cost-effective trip.
