 kers\n\n\nAbout: \n\nOrganized by ɬÀï·¬'s D2R Initiative and AReNa\, Queb
 ec's RNA hub\, this symposium at the 92nd Acfas Congress\, will focus on t
 he potential and challenges of developing RNA therapies. The event seeks t
 o create a collaborative environment where the community can come together
  to discuss major issues in the field. We will explore three topics: colla
 boration\, ethics and equity\, and data science.\n\nThe rapid development 
 of RNA technology\, highlighted by the successful creation of mRNA-based v
 accines\, underlines what can be achieved when scientists from around the 
 world join forces\, and industry and governments invest to accelerate scie
 ntific progress.\n\nThis is the beginning of a revolution that will enable
  the rapid\, low-cost development of genomics-based RNA therapies for new 
 viral diseases\, diseases with high morbidity (e.g. cancer) and rare disea
 ses\; which are currently incurable or very expensive to treat.\n\nDespite
  these advances\, the development and commercialization of these therapies
  still face challenges\, including the need for greater collaboration betw
 een researchers\, healthcare and industry. The application of these therap
 eutic approaches\, particularly with regard to Indigenous communities\, re
 quires community engagement and leadership to enable implementation that t
 akes into account the realities of stakeholders and respect for the princi
 ples of health equity and research ethics.\n\nOur symposium will address t
 hese key issues in the development of RNA-based therapies\, with a focus o
 n fostering collaboration\, leveraging AI and data science\, and ensuring 
 ethical research practices.\n\nRegistration and tickets: \n\nThis is a hyb
 rid event\, taking place online and in person and will be delivered in fre
 nch. To register\, purchase your ACFAS tickets here: https://www.acfas.ca/
