Frontiers in Science: Engineering RNA & AI 2026
Monday, March 30, 2026 •The AI-driven RNA BioFoundry (AIRFoundry) at University of Pennsylvania invites undergraduates at all levels to learn about emerging RNA technology, engineering nanoparticles for vaccines and other uses, and how artificial intelligence can help accelerate discovery. The AIRFoundry is a National Science Foundation-funded BioFoundry that aims to transform how RNA is designed, synthesized and delivered so that we can democratize their use in bioscience discovery and application.
Join us for this free ½ day event, where you will learn from leading experts and tour the AIRFoundry and Penn Institute for RNA Innovation. Breakfast and lunch will be provided.
