SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHROUGHS IN RNA BIOLOGY:
WHAT'S NEW, EXCITING AND THERAPEUTIC!
2:15 p.m. - 4:15 p.m. MOSCONE CENTER
Room 2009/2011 (West Building, Level 2)
Assemblies on Allergy, Immunology and Inflammation; Clinical
Problems; Pulmonary Circulation; Respiratory Cell and Molecular
Biology; Respiratory Structure and Function; Thoracic Oncology
Target Audience
Providers and trainees interested in clinical, basic and translational lung
physiology, development and disease and molecular biology.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to:
• understand and improve knowledge of the role of Linc RNA in lung
development;
• understand the potential use of MicroRNAs as therapeutic targets.
This session will focus on some of the recently identified and novel roles of RNA
species in regulating lung development and in treating lung disease. Speakers
will discuss the role of long non-coding RNA in lung development and the
potential for micro RNA as therapies for lung cancer. Thus the session will span
basic biology and development to cutting edge therapeutics. It will synergize
with the 2016 Scientific Core theme. Presentations from experts in the field will
be complemented by abstract related to the topic being discussed.

SELF-MANAGEMENT AND RISK REDUCTION
CHALLENGES IN VULNERABLE POPULATIONS
Assemblies on Nursing; Behavioral Science and Health Services
Research; Clinical Problems
2:15 p.m. - 4:15 p.m. MOSCONE CENTER
Room 307 (South Building, Esplanade Level)
Target Audience
Nurses, physicians, physician assistants, respiratory therapists, respiratory
care practitioners, pharmacists, physical therapists involved in providing or
directing care in underserved populations in developed countries.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to:
• identify current disparities in health delivery in underserved, disenfranchised and
vulnerable populations.
• foster health professional attitudes to promote and frame actions to reduce
disparities through identification and management of key risk factors;
• look to the future of greater equity in the delivery and access to health care for
all communities.
This session will identify vulnerable populations across the world and discuss the
unique challenges of modifying risk in these groups.
