The New Frontier of RNA Nanotherapeutics international meeting presented by the George and Angelina Kostas Research Center for Cardiovascular Nanomedicine - Exhibitor/Sponsor Registration

Houston, TX US
October 24, 2022

Presented by the George and Angelina Kostas Research Center for Cardiovascular Nanomedicine

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” 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!

Program Directors: John P. Cooke, MD, PhD and Alessandro Grattoni, PhD
