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. This year’s symposium will focus on fostering synergistic collaborations among NCI and NIH intramural investigators, by highlighting and celebrating RNA research by the NIH intramural community.
The symposium offers the opportunity to learn more about cutting edge research implicating RNA biology in development and disease, share scientific ideas, and network with others across NIH to discuss the use and implications of these advances for clinical applications.
