London, United Kingdom, June 03, 2021 --(PR.com)-- SMi Group are delighted to announce that the Target Discovery for RNA Therapeutics workshop will be held on Tuesday, 15th September 2021 at Holiday Inn Forum in London, UK. The workshop will highlight Oligonucleotide Therapeutics – the emerging medicine class and the therapeutic benefit of target genetic material via antisense, mRNA, RNAi, saRNA and siRNA. They bring about the ability to affect targets that have been considered “non - draggable.” Heavy investments in oligonucleotide therapeutic discovery have created an emerging market need for drug delivery technologies.

For those interested in attending this workshop, register by 30th June 2021 to save £100. Register at: www.oligonucleotide.co.uk/PR3 .
