Presented by the George and Angelina Kostas Research Center for Cardiovascular Nanomedicine
Program Directors: John P. Cooke, MD, PhD and Alessandro Grattoni, PhD
The RNA vaccines against COVID-19 mark the beginning of a technological revolution that will transform the way we treat disease and restore health. “The New Frontier of RNA Nanotherapeutics” annual international meeting, presented by the George and Angelina Kostas Research Center for Cardiovascular Nanomedicine, will feature a discussion on the events that led to the RNA vaccine breakthrough, and preview emerging RNA Nanotherapeutics. Advances in the design of RNA constructs to improve stability and translational efficiency, will be presented along with the leading-edge developments in nanomedicine to improve delivery and tissue specificity. The potential of nanotechnology-enabled RNA therapeutics to enhance health is virtually limitless. Join us in this international meeting at the frontiers of RNA Nanotherapeutics!

SHARK TANK Cardiovascular Nanomedicine Competition
During the “Shark Tank” Cardiovascular Nanomedicine competition, three research teams will compete for a $10,000 award to fund innovative ideas in the field of cardiovascular nanomedicine. Each team will be given 5 minutes to virtually present their research project, and the judges will be provided 10 minutes to ask questions and discuss the work. The judges (Sharks) will vote on the winning project deemed to be the most likely to be translated toward the clinic. The best projects are based upon innovative ideas that solve a cardiovascular problem, and have preliminary data showing feasibility, combined with a target product profile and a plan for clinical development. The winning team will be announced at the conclusion of the competition.
