The Swiss RNA Therapeutics Summit brings together stakeholders in the field of RNA Therapeutics from academia, biotechnology, pharma, manufacturing, government, and regulatory bodies with the aim to join forces in this rapidly advancing field. Also, the workshop brings into together companies with potential future employees.
Origin of the Workshop
The idea of the workshop was born after a panel discussion on “RNA Drugs: Applications Beyond Vaccines” at the Swiss Biotech Day in May 2022 in Basel. The Swiss RNA Therapeutics Summit is a joint initiative of the National Center of Competence in Research (NCCR) “RNA & Disease: The Role of RNA in Disease Mechanisms” and the Swiss Biotech Association.
First Swiss RNA Therapeutics – January 2023
The first Swiss RNA Therapeutics Summit took place on Thursday, January 26, 2023, as a full day event at the University of Bern. The first edition was co-organized together with the Swiss Biotech Association.
The event was attended by over 180 persons from industry, academia and other sectors.
The program consisted of opening remarks by Christian Leumann (Rector of the University of Bern and Oligonucleotide Chemistry Expert ), keynotes by Mustafa Diken (Vice President of Vaccines & Immunology, BioNTech) and Shalini Andersson (Vice President Oligonucleotide Discovery, AstraZeneca), panel discussions and company presentations.
We are grateful for the support by all the sponsors and the Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Society and everybody who contributed to the successful event.
