The 365th Session of the Xiangshan Science Conferences convened from 16 to 18 December in Beijing. Its objectives were to integrate China's superior research resources in aptamer studies, exchange the state-of-the-art research achievements, deliberate challenges facing the selection, characterization and biomedical application of aptqmers, work out countermeasures and make breakthroughs in key technological routes, promote China's bio-medical basic and applied studies in a systematic way, and promote the rapid development of the studies and accelerated its practice.
Under the theme of aptamers and their bio-medical application, the meeting invited scholars and experts from various disciplines to have in-depth discussions on screening technologies of aptamers, their application in target drugs, bio-medical basic research of aptamers, aptamer-based bio-medical analytic technology.
Co-executive chairs:
TAN Weihong, professor, Hunan University
ZHAN Qimin, professor, Institute of Oncology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences
FANG Xiaohong, research professor, Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences
