URMC / Center for RNA Biology / Events / RNA Collaborative Seminar Series
RNA Collaborative Seminar Series
The RNA Collaborative seminar series consists of a number of RNA research centers worldwide working together to provide online seminars during and beyond the COVID-19 institutional shutdowns. The RNA Collaborative aims to cross-promote RNA research to strengthen and connect the RNA scientific community.
Scientists are welcome to present 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 am EST, 4 pm EST, or host chooses, and are recorded and made freely available for viewing on the RNA Collaborative YouTube Channel.
Please see the RNA Society-sponsored page for up-to-date seminar schedule information: RNA Collaborative
RNA Collaborative seminars are sponsored by the RNA Society and are organized by the following international RNA Centers (27 current members and growing):
