Meeting details
Join us June 16-17, 2026 for the Buffalo RNA Symposium! This event is presented by Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center and the University at Buffalo and will showcase the latest advancements in RNA research across the basic, translational and clinical sciences. Hear about groundbreaking discoveries from renowned speakers, local and regional RNA biologists leading innovative research programs, as well as emerging trainees in RNA biology.
RNA is a central determinant of gene regulation, playing critical roles in human health and diseases. The RNA life cycle is highly intricate, involving diverse RNA binding factors and regulatory signals that influence RNA synthesis, modification, processing, localization, structure, turnover and translation. While recent advances have deepened our understanding of these complex RNA processes, the molecular mechanisms underlying these pathways, how they shape RNA function, and their effects on clinical outcomes are still being uncovered.
Topics to be discussed
RNA Translation, Regulatory Non-Coding RNAs, RNA in Diseases, RNA Modifications, RNA Processing, RNA Protein Interactions, RNA Stability and Quality Control, RNA Structures, RNA Therapeutics
