The first day was filled enlightening lectures at the Karolinska Institutet focusing on Nucleic Acid therapies, enriching students primarily from the synthetic side with a profound comprehension of their research applications. A diverse range of topics spanning from oligonucleotide therapeutics to the utilization of CRISPR-Cas9 technologies, and further emphasizing the delivery aspects of these therapeutics.
