IBC's Fifth Annual AsiaTIDES

This is the only event in Japan with coverage of all oligonucleotide classes: RNAi, peptide therapeutics, and vaccines. AsiaTIDES continues to be the premier forum where attendees get a comprehensive update, meet key players, and increase their knowledge of the oligonucleotide- and peptide-based therapeutics fields.

Hear the latest reports from RXi, Tekmira, Santaris, miRagen, Arrowhead, REPLICor, Noxxon, Silence, PeptiDream, Pfizer, Immunovaccine, OncoTherapy Science, Zealand, Radius, Aileron, and more. Learn manufacturing capabilities of all the major oligonucleotide and peptide contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs). For updates on science, business developments, and regulatory changes — as well as practical tutorials — this event is your best conference choice to update your knowledge in all the relevant areas in just three days.

Many presentations throughout the program will include unpublished data first heard at AsiaTIDES. Gain a competitive edge by hearing first-hand unpublished data from our panel of industry-leading speakers.

Networking

There are over five exhibit hall hours incorporated in the program allowing you plenty of time to meet with exhibitors and attendees. Take advantage of a more relaxed networking setting by attending the networking dinner on Tuesday night (cosponsored by ChemGenes). More than 20 exhibitors will be in a bustling exhibit hall. They are ready to answer your questions so you can get up to speed on products and services that will advance your process development and manufacturing.

New for 2013

Hear reports from Japanese companies on their US collaborations. See the first joint session presented by OSWG and JPMA on preclinical and clinical safety assessment for planning regulatory strategies.
