microRNAs are playing an important role in a range of diseases such as cancer, metabolic diseases and cardiovascular disorders. Their involvement in many physiological pathways makes them an excellent target for pharmaceutical drug development, and their use as biomarkers or for profiling and screening turns them into a valuable tool for diagnostics. This conference highlights novel developments in using miRNAs for health and disease, and it will discuss novel applications and progress made in manipulating microRNA. Opportunities for using microRNA as a tool will also be explored.
