RNA 2010

15th Annual Meeting of the RNA Society

University of Washington, Seattle

June 22 - 26, 2010

The 15th annual meeting of the RNA Society will take place on the University of Washington campus in Seattle, Washington from June 22nd - 26th, 2010. The meeting is open to anyone whose work contributes to an understanding of RNA and how this interesting biopolymer functions. The RNA Society is a multidisciplinary organization, and its members study all aspects of the structure, function and evolution of RNA and ribonucleoprotein assemblies. The research presented at this meeting will include a wide range of disciplines from molecular medicine and RNA therapeutics, to molecular, cellular, developmental and evolutionary biology, structural biology, biochemistry, chemistry, and genetics and much, much, more.

The meeting will provide an outstanding scientific program.  In five Plenary Sessions leading RNA scientists will provide a wide overview of a particular field of RNA biology highlighting open and important questions. Afternoon Sessions will consist of short oral presentations selected from the submitted abstracts by the Organizing Committee and the Session Coordinators. Abstracts that are not selected for oral presentations will be presented as posters. As in past years, we will also have several mentoring sessions and networking opportunities targeted towards the graduate students and post-doctoral associates attending the meeting.

We look forward to welcoming you back to Seattle!

The deadline for submission of abstracts is
