microRNA in Human Disease & Development

Boston, MA (March 23-25, 2009)

The meeting will cover progress in identifying human miRNA, technologies used for miRNA profiling, and the latest research in linking miRNA to human disease. Opportunities for using miRNA as diagnostic biomarkers and a novel class of targets for therapeutic development will be explored.

Topics Include:

* miRNA identification and profiling approaches (microarrays, PCR, informatics, etc.)   * miRNA pathways and mechanisms   * miRNA role in development and disease, focusing on cancer   * miRNA biomarkers for diagnostic development   * miRNA targets for therapeutic development   * microRNA polymorphisms
