More than a century after its discovery, RNA continues to surprise—from basic biology to new therapeutic avenues. Moving past the historical central dogma, our understanding of the role of RNA evolved from that of intermediate messenger to central player in complex gene regulation modalities, immunity, cellular signaling, and spatial information. This symposium will be the perfect venue to learn how principles of core RNA biology are being harnessed to drive advances in human health and beyond.

The meeting will cover the full spectrum of RNA biology, spanning fundamental mechanisms, structural biology, RNA therapeutics, discovery tools, computational strategies, and more.

Please join us in Geneva to discuss the newest advances and most pressing challenges in the RNA biology field. This symposium will bring together experts studying RNA from diverse perspectives and will offer a unique opportunity for interdisciplinary interactions.

Topics include:

• RNA transcription, translation, export, and decay
• Regulation of gene expression
• Noncoding RNAs
• RNA localization, granules, and phase separation
• Structural biology of RNA and RNA complexes
• RNA folding
• Computational approaches (including AI)
• Epitranscriptomics
• RNA dysfunction in disease
• RNA therapeutics
• Plant RNA biology
• Microbial RNA biology
