What to Expect as RNA Comes Full Circle in 2026?
The 5th Circular & Self-Amplifying RNA Therapeutics Summit is designed for teams actively navigating the transition of circular and self-amplifying RNA from emerging modality to clinical reality.
As excitement gives way to execution, the field now faces a new set of challenges, including enabling durable expression, supporting redosing, aligning RNA design with delivery architecture, and building IND-ready CMC and regulatory strategies.
This highly-focused summit delivers three days of technical depth, strategic clarity, and peer-to-peer discussion, bringing together innovators from CirCode Biomed, Strand Therapeutics, Sail Biomedicines, Replicate Bioscience, HDT Bio, Chimeron Bio, Altamira Therapeutics, CSL, and leading academic institutions. The agenda prioritizes real-world lessons, first-in-human data, and platform-level decision-making across discovery, translation, and development.
Attendees can expect:
• Clinical and translational data validating circRNA and saRNA durability and safety
• Deep technical sessions on delivery beyond LNPs, immunogenicity engineering, and redosing strategies
• Practical guidance on CMC readiness, IP positioning, and regulatory alignment
• Workshops designed to reduce IND risk and accelerate development timelines
Built for discovery scientists, platform leaders, translational teams, CMC and regulatory experts, and biotech decision-makers, this summit offers the insight and connections required to move next-generation RNA therapeutics forward with confidence.
