SMi reports: Associate Director at ProQR is set to present at the 10th Annual RNA Therapeutics Conference, taking place on 20th – 21st February 2019 in London.

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, January 22, 2019 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Undoubtedly, the field of RNA therapeutics is currently undergoing a major expansion, and the potential for using RNA drugs for personalised medicines and immunotherapy, as well as to address genetic, infectious and chronic diseases will ensure the continued development of RNA therapeutics for years to come.

For this reason, SMi Group are proud to present the 10th annual RNA Therapeutics conference on 20th – 21st February 2019, which will gather a host of industry experts from leading RNA therapeutics organisations, to discuss the latest developments and challenges faced in the field of RNA therapy.

Delegates of this year’s conference in London will have the opportunity of being at the forefront of developments in RNA Therapies as well as hear from key industry experts such as ProQR.

In recent news, the FDA granted Fast Track designation to a novel drug from ProQR (QR-421a), a first-in-class RNA-based oligonucleotide with the potential to treat vision loss caused by Usher syndrome type 2 and non-syndromic retinitis pigmentosa.

The CEO of ProQR stated “Patients with Usher syndrome currently have no available therapies for their vision loss and this designation emphasizes the high unmet need in this disease.” (Source: empr.com)
