TAmiRNA presents new musculoskeletal disease approaches to OSTEOLOGIE Congress
Vienna, Austria: Biotech innovator TAmiRNA will present new approaches to bring insights on innovative therapeutic approaches to musculoskeletal disorders at the upcoming virtual OSTEOLOGIE event.
TAmiRNA has been a regular contributor to the Osteology congress agenda for several years. This year, CEO and founder Dr. Matthias Hackl will deliver a lecture during the scientific program.
microRNAs as new therapeutic targets
Dr. Hackl will present insights on ‘New therapy concepts for musculoskeletal diseases’ during the session ‘microRNAs as new therapeutic targets for musculoskeletal diseases’. The talk will begin at 09:00 on the 6th September 2020.
Prediction and analysis of osteoporosis
“Our insights should be of considerable value to those representatives from biotech and pharma companies participating in clinical studies, universities, clinical research groups that attend this valuable event,” said Dr. Hackl.
“In particular, we can show how novel validated bone biomarkers can play a valuable role in predicting fracture risk in osteoporosis and bone quality. They open up new possibilities of identifying high-risk subsets that qualify for preventive therapeutic treatment, while new biomarker targets give insights into the disease mechanisms of osteoporosis,” said Dr. Hackl.
About TAmiRNA
TAmiRNA specializes in technologies for profiling levels of blood-circulating microRNAs and developing multi-parametric classification algorithms (“signatures”). TAmiRNA uses these technologies to develop minimal-invasive diagnostic tests for drug development, early diagnosis and prognosis of disease, and as companion diagnostic tests to support treatment decisions.

About OSTEOLOGIE 2020
The joint German/Austrian annual OSTEOLOGIE (Osteology) Congress focuses on diseases of the musculoskeletal system such as arthrosis, sarcopenia and osteoporotic fractures. It seeks to shape new therapeutic approaches to the regulation of bone and its metabolism. It serves as a forum for researchers and clinicians working in the musculoskeletal field to discover and discuss the latest advances and controversies in research and in the daily care of patients.
The virtual OSTEOLOGIE 2020 is a three-day event and will take place on September 5th and 6th as well as on 12th.
Key topics for discussion at the congress will include interaction between glucose metabolism and bone metabolism and calcium and phosphate metabolism disorders due to kidney disease, along with benefits of movement therapy and electrotherapy, especially in arthrosis.
