Welcome Letter
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to extend a warm invitation to the second RNA Therapeutics Symposium, a distinguished gathering dedicated to advancing the transformative potential of RNA technology in cancer medicine. Following the resounding success of our inaugural meeting, where we explored the exciting frontiers of RNA research, we are eager to convene once more.
In collaboration with our esteemed partners at CANCERNA, we invite you to join us in Palermo, Sicily, Italy, from October 29-31, 2025.
This symposium will provide a unique platform for:
- Exploring cutting-edge advancements: Delving into the latest research on RNA system biology, including RNA splicing, editing, and processing.
- Discovering novel therapeutic avenues: Unlocking the potential of RNA therapeutics to modulate cancer, generate immunogenic transcripts, and target cancer vulnerabilities.
- Fostering interdisciplinary collaboration: Connecting with a diverse community of researchers, fostering meaningful partnerships between academia and industry.
We believe that through collaborative efforts, we can accelerate the translation of groundbreaking RNA research into impactful cancer therapies.
