Event overview
RNA therapeutics is a rapidly expanding industry with increasingly growing potential for immunotherapy, personalised medicines, and treatment of genetic, infectious and chronic diseases. This is reflected with the value of the global antisense & RNA therapeutics market expected to reach USD 1.81 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 7.5%. With Covid-19 rapidly accelerating the RNA landscape through massive regulatory successes, the recent advent of CRISPR, an RNA-guided gene-editing technology, as well as new strides in the delivery of messenger RNA transcribed in vitro, there has been considerable progress in the development of RNA medicines and a major expansion of the RNA-therapeutics field.
