Workshop background

MicroRNAs are fundamental in cell and organismal development. They have been implicated in a number of complex human diseases, and the processes involving them provide opportunities for intervention by novel drugs. This workshop will bring together biologists and chemists to facilitate discussion about techniques that analyse small RNAs and assist development of therapeutic approaches.

Topics

• Regulation of gene expression by microRNAs
• The roles of microRNAs in human development and disease
• Methods for quantitative analysis of microRNAs
• Computational and bioinformatics analysis of microRNAs
• Strategies for delivering microRNA mimics and anti-microRNAs into cells
