Novel Nanodelivery of siRNA/miRNA SymposiumJune 10, 2010 California NanoSystems Institute, UCLA This meeting is focused on highlighting recent dramatic advances concerning siRNA and miRNA including the successful delivery of siRNA in clinical settings. We intend to bring together researchers working with biology and medical application of these novel molecules. One of the major issues in the use of siRNA and miRNA for therapeutic purposes is to come up with efficient methods to deliver these reagents. A variety of nanodelivery vehicles can be used for this purpose and we hope the meeting will facilitate discussion on novel nanodelivery methods for siRNA / miRNA. Keynote Speakers: "siRNA Delivery by Targeted Nanoparticles: From Preclinical Studies to Patients"
by Mark Davis, Warren and Katherine Schlinger Professor of Chemical Engineering, Caltech & Antoni Ribas, Professor of Medicine Hematology/Oncology, UCLA Special Lecture: "In Vivo Delivery of siRNA to Immune Cells" by Hua Yu, Professor of Cancer Immunotherapeutics & Tumor Immunology, City of Hope Symposium Sessions: Biology and Medical Applications of siRNA and microRNA Nanodelivery Systems Industry Perspectives Panel Discussion Attendence is free, but registration is required. Call for Posters! Researchers working on all aspects of siRNA and miRNA nanodelivery are invited to attend the symposium and present their exciting work. We will be exhibiting posters in the lobby during the symposium. Please contact cnsievents@cnsi.ucla.edu to reserve space for your poster.
