2nd International Symposium on Frontiers in Molecular Science Non-Coding RNAs and Epigenetics in Cancer

2nd International Symposium on Frontiers in Molecular Science Non-Coding RNAs and Epigenetics in Cancer is organized by Sciforum and would be held on Jun 21 - 23, 2017 at Biozentrum University of Basel, Basel-Stadt, Switzerland.

One of the most unexpected and fascinating discoveries in oncology over the past decade has been the interplay between abnormalities in protein-coding genes and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), which are causally involved in cancer initiation, progression, and dissemination. Although, to date, the most studied non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are miRNAs, the importance of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) is increasingly being recognized. At the conference, entitled “Non-Coding RNAs and Epigenetics in Cancer”, leaders in the field will present the roles of miRNAs and lncRNAs in cancer, with a focus on the recently identified novel mechanisms of action, and discuss the current strategies in designing ncRNA-targeting therapeutics, as well as the associated challenges.
