Welcome to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Symposium "RNA Biology 2025"
The goal of the NCI RNA Biology Initiative is to establish a collaborative environment that promotes the swift exchange of information and expertise regarding the structure, function, and biological significance of RNA. Our objective is to leverage this collective knowledge to advance the development of novel diagnostics and therapies. We actively foster synergistic collaborations among NCI and NIH intramural investigators, as well as between our researchers and the broader RNA community.
The symposium offers the opportunity to learn more about the current status of RNA biology in development and disease, share research, network with leading figures in the field and discuss the use and implications of these advances for clinical applications.
Organized by the NCI RNA Biology Initiative this symposium will bring together internationally renowned experts in the field of RNA biology, with the focus on:
- RNA Processing
- RNA Structure and Mechanism
- Non-classical RNAs
- RNA Therapy
