MicroRNAs and Human Disease joint with MicroRNAs and Non-Coding RNAs and Cancer Organizer(s): Eric N. Olson, Sakari Kauppinen and Eva van Rooij Date: February 11 - 16, 2011 Location: Fairmont Banff Springs, Banff, AB, Canada Sponsored by Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Regulus Therapeutics Inc. Summary of Meeting: MicroRNAs have emerged as key regulators of numerous diseases including cancer, heart disease, neurological disorders and vascular abnormalities. This meeting will bring together international leaders in the field of microRNA biology and its relationship to human disease. Because the meeting will be concurrent with the Keystone meeting on non-coding RNAs and cancer, we will focus on diseases other than cancer. There will be combined plenary sessions focusing on microRNA mechanisms of action and the identification of microRNA targets. Subsequent sessions will cover the latest advances on the roles of microRNAs in stem cells, cardiovascular, muscle, infectious, and neurological diseases. The meeting will conclude with combined sessions on recent advances in microRNA therapeutics. Scholarship Deadline: October 12 2010 Discounted Abstract Deadline: October 12 2010 Abstract Deadline: November 16 2010 Discounted Registration Deadline: December 10 2010 We gratefully acknowledge additional support for this conference from: We gratefully acknowledge the generous grant for this conference provided by: National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Grant No. 1R13GM096524-01 We appreciate the organizations that provide Keystone Symposia with additional support, such as marketing and advertising: Click here to view more of these organizations Special thanks to the following for their support of Keystone Symposia initiatives to increase participation at this meeting by scientists from underrepresented backgrounds: Click here to view more of these organizations
