Welcome to the Select Biosciences The RNA Summit 2017: Research, Diagnostics and Therapeutics.

This conference focuses on the studies on RNA from a research perspective, from the biomarker/diagnostic potential of various RNA species, to the therapeutic potential of RNA in various therapeutics classes.

There is also expanding interest in extracellular RNA and its potential as a circulating biomarker class for liquid biopsy development.  This is a topic addressed at this conference in the context of the diagnostic potential of RNA.

This summit is composed of research presentations, keynotes to frame the current state-of-the-art of the field as well as round-table discussions focusing on:

• Life Science Research Activities and Opportunities in RNA
• RNA Classes as Biomarkers (notably are microRNAs, long non-coding RNAs)
• RNA as a Therapeutic Modality: Challenges and Current Progress
