The Only Conference Dedicated Exclusively to RNA-Targeted Small Molecules

Learn from the companies moving into the clinic, explore emerging modalities beyond splice modulation, and discover how the field is tackling its biggest challenges: selectivity, functional modulation and target validation.

The RNA-targeted small molecule field is reaching a critical inflection point.

Underscored by clinical advances including ReviR Therapeutics’ first participant dosed in a Phase 1 study of RTX-117 and Remix Therapeutics’ reporting positive Phase 1/2 data for REM-422, clinical programs are advancing, pharma interest is growing, and new approaches are expanding what is possible beyond traditional splice modulation.

Join 80+ RNA-targeted drug discovery leaders to:

  • Access new data from companies advancing RNA-targeted therapies toward the clinic
  • Explore emerging modalities including RNA degraders, covalent binders, and epitranscriptomic approaches
  • Tackle key challenges in target selection, functional modulation, and selectivity
  • Benchmark strategies with leading biotech, pharma, and academic experts
  • Connect with the companies shaping the future of RNA-targeted therapeutic

The 9th RNA-Targeted Drug Discovery & Development Summit brings together leaders from PTC Therapeutics, Remix Therapeutics, ReviR Therapeutics, AstraZeneca, Sanofi, Atomic AI, Syrna Therapeutics, Ribonaut Therapeutics, Ribometrix, and more to share insights, forge partnerships, and accelerate the future of RNA-targeted drug discovery.

The meeting was exceptionally well organized, and I truly enjoyed the depth and openness of the scientific discussions. 

What stood out to me was the strong balance between fundamental RNA biology, emerging technologies, and translational perspectives across pharma and biotech. 

The highly engaged audience and the frank exchange of technical challenges made the sessions particularly valuable. 

It was also inspiring to see how different groups are approaching RNA-targeted small molecules from diverse angles, which made the conversations both enjoyable and thought-provoking.
