Kidney Week 2024: Early Programs

• • Advances in Research Conference – Genome Engineering and RNA-Based Therapeutics: From Bench to Potentially Curative Medicines

    October 23, 2024 | 07:00 AM PDT – 05:10 PM PDT

    Location: Room 6A, Convention Center

    Session Description

    This program showcases cutting-edge advances in gene therapy, genome and epigenome editing, and RNA-based therapeutics. Lectures highlight recent technological advances, the current toolbox available to clinicians, and major clinical breakthroughs, with an eye toward potential application to the treatment of kidney diseases.

    Session Objectives

    Upon completion of this program, the participant will be able to: 1) describe state-of-the-art genome editing and RNA-based therapeutics technology; 2) discuss the potential clinical application of genome editing for kidney-related diseases; and 3) discuss the potential clinical application of RNA-based drugs for common kidney diseases.
