ESF Research Conferences
30 May - 4 June 2010
Hotel Eden Roc, Sant Feliu de Guixols, Spain
Chaired by: Prof. Ben Berkhout - University of Amsterdam, NL
Co-Chairs:
- Prof. Jens Kurreck - University of Stuttgart, DE
- Prof. Juan Antonio Garcia Alvarez - Centro Nacional de Biotecnologia, ES
Programme |
The second ESF-EMBO symposium on "Applications of antiviral RNA interference (RNAi)" will be held in the early summer of 2010 (May 30 – June 4, 2010) in Sant Feliu de Guixols at the Costa Brava in Spain. Some 100 participants are expected to come together from the fields of RNAi research and virology to present their latest findings on RNAi-virus interactions, as well as the progress in the development of RNAi-based antiviral therapeutics. One of the big questions that will be addressed concerns the role of RNAi in natural antiviral defence mechanisms in mammals. In addition, new solutions to improve the efficacy and safety of RNAi-based antiviral drugs will be presented. The combined expertise of researchers studying RNAi in plants, insects and mammalian systems is supposed to greatly stimulate the overall discussion.
