About event
Our RNA Summer School will take place in the beautiful city of Brno for the 4th time. It is dedicated to Master and PhD students of biological sciences who are interested in modern approaches of experimental research and practical applications of recent findings in the field of RNA biology.
The meeting brings together leading experts covering many different current topics in RNA research from structural studies of large macromolecular complexes, bioinformatics and mass spectrometry analyses, RNA modifications, processing, and translation and their role in development and disease. A workshop on science communication as well as talks on scientific management and drug design will further complement the program.
The Summer School will be held in person in Building E35, Room 211, and a few talks will be streamed via the ZOOM platform. The Networking Dinner will also be held in Building E35.
Useful Information on CEITEC MU location, transport to Brno and the city commuting can be found HERE.
Registration has been closed.
