About event
The RNA Summer school is dedicated to 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 lectures from leading experts will cover many different current topics in RNA research from structural studies of large macromolecular complexes, bioinformatics analyses and methods to the mechanisms of RNA synthesis, processing, modifications and translation and their role in development, disease and infection.
The Summer School will be held for CEITEC MU students in Building B11, Room 306, and for international students, it will be streamed via the ZOOM platform.The Networking Dinner will be held in Building E35.
