April 16 (10:00am - 3:00pm) @ Kendall Square Marriott - Cambridge

The RNA Revolution:

We are pleased to invite scientists from pharmaceutical, biotech and academic laboratories, who are interested in enhancing their gene expression research with the RNAscope^® assay, to join our free ACD symposium.

With over 2000 publications in top scientific journals, the RNAscope^® assay has become a routinely-used method for tissue-based gene expression analysis in biopharma target validation, disease biology research and biomarker development. With the capacity to provide single-cell and single-RNA molecule gene expression analysis in the context of complex tissue microenvironments, RNAscope ISH assay is the essential tool to complement and/or validate data from technologies like IHC, qPCR or NGS.

This symposium will feature presentations by distinguished scientists who have successfully applied the RNAscope^® assay to their research. Additionally, ACD scientists will be present to help new or recent users understanding of the RNAscope^® assay and discuss how to produce high quality results.

Presentations include:
