RNA Collaborative Seminar Series
The RNA Collaborative seminar series consists of RNA research centers worldwide working together to provide online seminars sharing new and exciting research with the RNA scientific community. The RNA Collaborative aims to cross-promote RNA research to strengthen and connect RNA research institutions around the world.
Scientists are welcome to present RNA-related research spanning from foundational discoveries to potential therapeutic applications. Each month, two host centers collaborate to present 2-4 research talks during a one-hour seminar session. Each speaker also holds a Q&A session to answer further questions from attendees after their talk concludes.
Seminars are held virtually the second Wednesday of each month (and the last Wednesday of March, September, and October), at either 10 am ET or 4 pm ET and are recorded and made freely available for viewing on the RNA Collaborative YouTube Channel.
