We are at the beginning of a revolution that will enable the rapid\, lo w-cost development of genome-guided RNA-based medicines for a wide spectru m of diseases\, such as those caused by emerging viruses that threaten our society with pandemics and their associated catastrophic health and econo mic consequences\, high-burden diseases such as cancer\, which is the numb er one cause of death in Canada\, and rare genetic disorders that are incu rable or prohibitively expensive to treat.\n\nɬÀï·¬ recently f ounded two inter-disciplinary institutes\, the ɬÀï·¬ Centre for RNA Scien ces\, and the Victor Phillip Dahdaleh Institute of Genomic Medicine with t he vocation to match the potential of personalized medicine with the flexi bility and speed promised by RNA therapeutics. At the forefront of this me eting will be collaborating RNA academic poles in Quebec and Canada that a re part of several ongoing projects and proposals\, but most prominently w ith leading industrial partners.\n DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20230601 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20230602 LOCATION:Howard Palmer Amphitheatre & 6th floor Mezzanine\, McIntyre Medica l Building\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3G 1Y6\, 3655 promenade Sir William Osl er SUMMARY:RNA & the Future of Medicine URL:/sbms/channels/event/rna-future-medicine-346574 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
