RNA Collaborative Seminar SeriesInformation and Upcoming SeminarsThe RNA Collaborative is a grassroots effort led by a number of RNA research centers worldwide to provide an on-line seminar series during and beyond the institutional shut-down caused by COVID-19. The goal of the program is to promote and disseminate emerging RNA research and to establish and strengthen connections within the international RNA scientific community. Scientists are welcome to present all RNA-related research spanning from foundational discoveries to potential therapeutic applications. Host centers can choose to present one hour-long seminar, two 30-minute seminars, four poster sessions with introductory lightning talks, or a combination of talks and poster sessions. Seminars are held virtually every other Wednesday, at either 10:00 am ET (2:00 pm GMT) or 4:00 pm ET (8:00 pm GMT) or depending on the host institution's preference. Seminars are recorded and made freely available for viewing on the RNA Collaborative YouTube Channel. Seminars are open for viewing by all interested researchers, but prior registration is required to access the streaming content. Current RNA Collaborative participating centers include: Alberta RNA Research and Training Institute (ARRTI), Cambridge RNA Club, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), Groupe de Recherche RNA, Harvard Medical School Initiative for RNA Medicine, Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research, Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB), Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT), MD Anderson Center for RNA Interference and Non-Coding RNAs, NCI RNA Biology Initiative, NUS-CSI Singapore RNA Biology Center, Penn Institute for RNA Innovation, RiboClub Sherbrooke, RNA MaxiGroup, University of Wisconsin-Madison, RNA Research Centre in Poznan, Shanghai RNA Club, The Bay Area RNA Club (BARC), The RNA Institute, University At Albany, UCSC Center for Molecular Biology of RNA, UMass Chan Medical School, RNA Therapeutics Institute, University of Michigan Center for RNA Biomedicine, University of North Carolina RNA Research Group, Ohio State University, University of Rochester Center for RNA Biology, University of Science & Technology of China (USTC) RNA Institute, Yale Center for RNA Science and Medicine and Zhejiang University (ZJU) Center for RNA Medicine We invite institutions with RNA research programs to join the RNA Collaborative and present within this exciting on-line seminar series.
