DIA/FDA Oligonucleotide-Based Therapeutics Conference

Overview

Now co-sponsored with FDA!

The DIA/FDA Oligonucleotide-Based Therapeutics Conference brings together leading experts from industry and regulatory agencies to inform, educate, and share advancements in oligonucleotide-based therapeutic product development. At this conference you will learn about optimization strategies for drug design, manufacturing, delivery, and clinical testing through three tracks dedicated to covering relevant nonclinical, CMC, and clinical topics. Interface with global regulators to discuss developmental advances, safety, and challenges in the field of oligonucleotide-based therapeutics.
