May 30 – 31 – 2025 – Internet Live Activity – Jacksonville, Florida

The Mayo Clinic RNA Discoveries and Therapeutics Conference 2025 will convene experts in the areas of RNA Biology and RNA Therapeutics Development and Application in disease areas including but not limited to neurological diseases, cancer and rare diseases. It will help identify gaps and opportunities in this field to leverage RNA therapeutics from discovery to translation to clinical trials.

Target Audience

This course is relevant for physicians and other healthcare providers specializing in oncology, neurology, rare diseases, and metabolic specialties.  The content also benefits individuals involved in cancer research, neurological studies, the development of RNA-based therapeutics, and clinical trial coordinators.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Review the current state of RNA therapeutics to include their discovery and translation into practice
  • Assess existing approaches to the discovery of RNA targets
  • Identify gaps in the development of RNA therapies for common complex and rare diseases
  • Assess existing approaches to the development of novel therapies to include treatment and delivery modalities
  • Identify future opportunities for development of RNA therapies in common complex and rare diseases
