Safety of Therapeutic Oligonucleotides
Presenter:Â Patrik Andersson (AstraZeneca) Date: May 13, 2020 Description:Â Successful therapeutics need to be efficacious and safe. Although oligonucleotide therapeutics act via unique mechanisms, they follow the same principles for safety assessment as other modalities. This webinar will give an overview of these principles and what ...
