News: World’s First Gene Therapy for Glycogen Storage Disease Produces Remarkable Results
At the Association for Glycogen Storage Disease’s 41st Annual Conference, Dr. David Weinstein of UConn School of Medicine and Connecticut Children’s presented his groundbreaking, one-year clinical trial results for the novel gene therapy treatment for glycogen storage disease (GSD). The rare and deadly genetic liver disorder, GSD type Ia, affects children from infancy through adulthood, causing dangerously low blood sugar levels and constant dependence on glucose consumption in the form of cornstarch every few hours for survival. If a cornstarch dose is missed, the disease can lead to seizures and even death. Weinstein, whose team first administered the investigational gene therapy at UConn John Dempsey Hospital in Farmington, Connecticut, on July 24, 2018, calls the results “remarkable.”

Conference: 3rd Complement-based Drug Development Summit
The Complement-based Drug Development Summit, 13-15 November 2019 in Boston, is the only industry dedicated meeting that brings you the most up to date clinical and commercial developments utilizing complement inhibitors in rare and common disease indications. You will gain key insight on overcoming end to end challenges from preclinical modelling to streamlining process development. This event will enable you to understand the fundamental role of complement in specialized cells to manipulate the complement cascade to treat common and rare diseases. Join experts from InflaRx, Apellis, Novartis, Roche, Genentech and Achillion to discuss targeting the classical, lectin and alternative pathways and creating robust testing and assay measures for patient selection and response. With over 150 of the industry’s pioneers we will gather to advance to the clinic novel complement based drugs beyond C5.

Conference: 1st RNA Editing Summit
As CRISPR genome editing struggles to overcome key specificity and delivery challenges in its pursuit to realize therapeutic applications, the 1st RNA Editing Summit 2019, 19-20 November 2019 in Boston, accelerates the translation and commercialization of RNA editing for an array of research and therapeutic applications. As the therapeutic potential of RNA editing explodes, discover the fundamental mechanisms of RNA editing, such as recruiting endogenous ADARs with encodable guideRNAs, and learn about the novel approaches being developed to precisely and efficiently deliver intended RNA edits. With the temporary nature of RNA editing providing a huge opportunity in many areas beyond genetic diseases, uncover how to recruit endogenous editing enzymes and ultimately deliver safe and effective transcriptome edits. Join RNA, functional genomic, cell biology and immuno-oncology experts from large pharma, biotech and academia at the 1st RNA Editing Summit 2019 in the pursuit of translating emerging RNA editing mechanisms into therapeutic reality.
