2024 Max Perutz Lecture: Antisense Modulation of RNA Splicing for Rare Disease Therapy - In Person Only
- 👤 Speaker: Adrian R. Krainer, Ph.D., St. Giles Foundation Professor, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory
- 📅 Date & Time: Monday 11 November 2024, 11:00 - 12:00
- 📍 Venue: In person in the Max Perutz Lecture Theatre (CB2 0QH)
Abstract
I will describe the design, development, and therapeutic applications of antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) that alter the splicing patterns of, and/or degrade, target transcripts. I will focus on CNS indications, including the development and clinical impact of nusinersen (Spinraza)—the first approved drug for spinal muscular atrophy—as well as our ongoing preclinical development of ASOs for a lethal pediatric brain cancer, H3K27 -altered diffuse midline glioma.
