ncRNA Webinar | Role of microRNA in Neuroendocrine Neoplasms

Neuroendocrine neoplasms are highly heterogeneous tumors that are incompletely understood at the molecular level. Diagnosis is frequently delayed, pathologic classification can be challenging, and many patients develop non-curable metastatic disease. microRNAs (miRNAs) are small RNA regulatory molecules that negatively regulate gene expression. These molecules are often dysregulated in tumorigenic processes and can also be used as disease biomarkers. Over the past decade, it has become increasingly clear that miRNAs mediate multiple aspects of neuroendocrine neoplasia and have clinical diagnostic utility. In this Special Issue, we focus on clinical, biological, and computational studies of miRNA-mediated gene regulation and dysregulation in all NENs (including lung carcinoids, small cell lung carcinoma, gastroenteropancreatic NENs, Merkel cell carcinoma, medullary thyroid cancer, pituitary adenoma, neuroblastoma, paraganglioma, pheochromocytoma, etc.). A full understanding of miRNA changes in these diverse neoplasms will advance our knowledge of NEN biology and pave the way for novel diagnostic, prognostic, predictive, and therapeutic approaches.

The following experts will be present and talk:

  • Prof. Dr. Neil Renwick, Laboratory of Translational RNA Biology, Department of Pathology and Molecular Medicine, Queen's University, Kingston, Canada
  • Ms. Jina Nanayakkara, Laboratory of Translational RNA Biology, Department of Pathology and Molecular Medicine, Queen's University, Kingston, Canada
  • Dr. Iacovos Michael, Biological Sciences, Sunnybrook Research Institute, Canada

When? 9 December 2021 at 3:00pm CET | 9:00am EDT | 9:00pm CST Asia
