EMBO | EMBL Symposium: The Complex Life of RNA 2024

EMBO | EMBL Symposium: The Complex Life of RNA 2024 is organized by European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO), European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and will be held from Oct 15 - 18, 2024 at EMBL Advanced Training Centre (ATC), Heidelberg, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany.

Description:
Before the genetic information stored in DNA can be used to direct cell growth and metabolism, it has to be transferred into RNA. Messenger RNAs (mRNAs) that code for proteins and noncoding RNAs are key components in the transmission of genetic information in all life forms – from viruses to complex mammalian organisms.

Following the great success of the 2022 edition of this long-standing symposium, we are looking forward to returning in 2024, bringing together leaders in the RNA field, post-docs and students, to disseminate and discuss the most recent results. The program will include topics on transcription, RNA processing and modification, mRNA export and localization, mRNA surveillance and decay, translation, the activity of non-coding RNAs, the control of mRNA expression, and coupling among these processes.

Session Topics:
• Co-transcriptional RNA biology
• RNA processing and modification
• RNP on the move
• Co-translational RNA biology
• RNA structure and regulation
• RNA pathogens and therapeutics
