RNA interference (RNAi) is a natural cellular process used to regulate gene expression. This 3-day workshop will delve into the fundamental mechanisms behind RNAi and its application in controlling the expression of specific genes. Participants will explore theoretical aspects of small interfering RNA (siRNA) techniques, from the molecular biology involved to real-world applications in research and medicine.
Throughout the workshop, we will focus on the role of RNAi in biological research, including gene function analysis, therapeutic approaches in diseases like cancer and viral infections, and gene editing techniques. The workshop will offer guidance in designing siRNA experiments, selecting appropriate delivery systems, and interpreting results, making it a valuable tool for molecular biologists, geneticists, and medical researchers.
