You’re invited: Fifth annual RNA Symposium

RNA research shapes revolutionary scientific paths, from fundamental science discoveries in the labs to powerful biomedical applications for patients. The rapid rise of RNA-guided genome editing tools and mRNA-based vaccinations demonstrates the tremendous impact of such breakthroughs.

To take a deeper looking at these advancements, the U-M Center for RNA Biomedicine will host its fifth annual RNA Symposium later this month.

The event will take place virtually on March 25 and 26, from 11 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. each day.

Five keynote speakers and six data blitz presenters will give their takes on RNA biomedicine, from RNA processing to RNA structure and CRISPR tools.

The keynote speakers include:

• Tracy Johnson, University of California, Los Angeles
• Kevin Weeks, University of North Carolina
• Feng Zhang, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
• Brenda Bass, University of Utah
• Chris Lima, Sloan Kettering Institute

Six U-M junior scientists will also be invited to present in a “data Blitz” format.
