Advanced Cell Diagnostics to sponsor RNA Therapeutics 2016 following the release of their new generation of RNAscope products for RNA-biomarker analysis in FFPE tissue
London, England (PRWEB UK) 22 October 2015 -- Molecular pathology experts Advanced Cell Diagnostics, recently announced the release of its next version RNAscope® in situ hybridization (ISH) assay – RNAscope 2.5.
Building on the ground-breaking advances introduced in RNAscope 2.0, which gained quick industry recognition, the 2.5 assay has shown positive results in early access programs and has been refined to enable rapid, accurate assessment of tissue-based biomarker expression across the full spectrum of clinical formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples at unprecedented levels of consistency and reproducibility without the need for lengthy rounds of assay optimization. *Source
Hear more from Advanced Cell Diagnostics at SMi’s 7th annual show on RNA Therapeutics when it returns to London next year on 15th and 16th February 2016.
Entitled: Single copy detection for specific transcripts in the tissue, the keynote address presented by European Senior Director, Dr Kai Williams, will discuss tissue specific assessment of efficacy and validation of rapid biomarker development and RNAi approaches, as well as analyse drug safety in tissue samples. Insight into transfer from cell culture to animal models to clinical, will also be given.
Bringing in voices from some of the most senior industry thought leaders in drug discovery and science, the annual congress will look to provide attendees with the latest updates on new evolutions in nanotechnology and targeted delivery systems. With a focus on messenger RNA-based Therapeutics and anti-sense oligonucleotide-based drugs, the programme will hone in on major key developments and tackle the challenge of transporting RNA to target sites outside the liver.
Day 1 will address topics on combinatory approaches to boost immune response, regulation of nano therapeutics, nanoparticles, commercial interests and key considerations for clinical success, while Day 2 explores the freedom to operate, mitigating risks, industry collaboration, small activating RNA and novel mRNA therapeutics.
