In June of this year, Rele was one of the few selected invitees to present his work at the Gordon Research Conference, attended by academia & industry. The title of the presentation topic was "Targeted and systemic delivery of siRNA nanoparticles by cyclodextrin-based delivery agents." Rele recently delivered a lecture on Delivery of RNAi Therapeutics at the 4th Annual Minnesota Nanotechnology Conference held November 11-13, 2008 and served as a Guest Editor for Current Bioactive Compounds (December 2008 issue).
