A-RNA Conference: Registrations open and filling fast!
Dear colleagues,
Many thanks to everyone who has already registered for the Inaugural Australasian RNA Biology and Biotechnology Conference, which will go ahead in Thredbo from 15-18th May. For those who haven’t, places are filling up quick, so please register as soon as possible. Details of the program can be found at https://a-rna.org.
Approximately two-thirds of the program is reserved for talks chosen from the Abstracts, so this will be an excellent opportunity to hear all about the exciting RNA work occurring in Australia. There will also be ample time for networking and relaxation. We have worked very hard to keep costs down to ensure everyone can attend.
We also have a world-class selection of international speakers. This includes Melissa Moore, CSO at Moderna, who will tell us about the latest updates in mRNA vaccine technology. And Howard Chang, a physician-scientist, who invented new methods for epigenomic profiling, map RNA occupancy on chromatin, and genome-wide RNA structures detection.
Registration closes on Friday 1st April but is on a first come first serve basis, so please sign up early to ensure you won’t miss out.
We look forward to seeing you there!
With best wishes,
The Organizing Committee (Minni Änkö, Archa Fox, John Mattick, Nikolay Shirokikh and Robert Weatheritt)
