Overview

About the Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Society (OTS) The idea for the OTS was conceived in 2001 in a small secluded castle in Tuscany, Italy, by an international group of renowned oligonucleotide scientists. The idea of the founders was to bring together the expertise from different angles of oligonucleotide research to create synergies and to bring the field of oligonucleotides to its full therapeutic potential. A new era of oligonucleotide drugs was envisioned that would change the landscape of therapeutic modalities, very much like the impact that antibodies had on human therapeutics over the last decade. Incorporated in the State of Massachusetts in 2002 and granted 501(c)6 nonprofit status with the United States Internal Revenue Service in 2003, the Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Society is an open, nonprofit forum to foster academia and industry-based research and development of oligonucleotide therapeutics. The highly regarded annual OTS meeting draws experts from all over the world for cross-disciplinary exchange spanning expertise in chemistry and delivery, to biology, immunology and clinical medicine. It is the intense scientific exchange between attendees during our annual meetings that sets the stage for groundbreaking new ideas. Poster Awards The Oligonucleotide Therapeutics Society grants Poster Awards to outstanding students and post docs presenting posters at the OTS Annual Meeting. Posters are judged during the meeting and winners are chosen based on exceptional and promising science as well as presentation of the data. Recipients receive: A $250 USD cash or gift card award Certificate and ribbon to display on poster
