The RNA Society has once again entered into an agreement with Lexogen for continued support of the RNA Salon program including the option to receive 2 years of RNA Salon funding.
With this agreement in place, we have now opened the application system and invite RNA Salon applications for 2023/24. High-quality applications will once again be chosen for two years of funding.
You will find details regarding the application guidelines and the link to the application system on the RNA Society website: https://www.rnasociety.org/salons
Applications will be accepted until October 20, 2023. If you cannot meet this timeline due to exceptional circumstances, or for more information, please contact Ute Kothe, RNA Salon Program Coordinator, at Ute.Kothe@umanitoba.ca

Michigan Medicine Health Lab features CRB faculty work with biomarkers | | |
|
|
CRB Faculty Members Sunitha Nagrath, Ph.D., and Muneesh Tewari, Ph.D., M.D., and are learning the potential that liquid biopsies hold as a potential non-invasive, diagnostic tool. Their research is cited in a new article recently published in Health Lab.
Dr. Nagrath reveals that circulating biomarkers found in bodily fluids such as blood, hold a host of undiscovered possibilities, and suggests they might even become part of a routine blood test down the road.
Dr. Tawari discovered that RNA was also found in the blood as a circulating marker - perhaps opening up yet another promising new path for RNA therapeutics development.
Read the full story in Michigan Medicine Health Lab.

Free Registration (virtual, in-person)
| | |
|
|
Eli Lilly is sponsoring a Midwest Symposium for Oligonucleotide Therapeutics (Nov 12-13) at the Hilton Indianapolis Hotel and Suites. Registration is free and it is a great opportunity for students (and PIs) to network, learn about RNA therapeutics from leading experts in the field, and share their work on RNA biology, oligonucleotide chemistry, RNA/DNA editing, and/or oligonucleotide delivery.
We have an exciting line up of keynote and invited speakers committed to present at the symposium. These include Stanley Crooke (Ionis, n-Lorem Foundation), Ron Weiss (MIT), Sudhir Agrawal (University of Massachusetts, ARNAY Sciences), Thomas Gaj (University of Illinois), and Craig Duvall (Vanderbilt University).
