In anticipation of RNA Day (on August 1), GEN invites you to join our exciting Spotlight virtual event on RNA Therapeutics on Wednesday, July 29.

We are living in a “post-genomic” world where RNA is no longer just a messenger but a programmable drug and molecular therapeutic. From the global impact of mRNA vaccines to advances in RNA editing and the potential of circular RNA, the field of RNA therapeutics is truly taking off. RNA is rapidly becoming a universal software for precision medicine.

Over 2.5 hours, this GENSpotlight on RNA Therapeutics brings you three interlinked sessions that feature outstanding researchers exploring various aspects of RNA biology and therapeutics, including:

  • A keynote panel including two founding members of the AIRFoundry (Artificial Intelligence-driven RNA BioFoundry) at the University of Pennsylvania—Zachary Ives, PhD, and Nobel laureate Drew Weissman, MD, PhD
  • A talk from Silvi Rouskin, PhD, a leading microbiologist at Harvard Medical School, presenting new research on alternative RNA structures and their relevance in health and disease
  • Presentations from our two sponsors, 4basebio and Aldevron
  • Registration to our Spotlight on RNA Therapeutics is entirely free. We look forward to celebrating RNA Day with you (a few days early).
