Yesterday's 3rd EdiRNA event was a great success again, thanks to all attending! ♥️ Our speakers were Prof. Vicky Cowling (CRUK), Dr. Fiona Haward (UoE), and PG researcher Mohd Ahmad (UoE). As always, we are looking forward to future talks from our community. Will our next guest speaker be YOU? 👀

Keynote speaker Prof. Vicky Cowling (CRUK, Beatson Institute) presenting the roles of RNA cap methyltransferases in neuronal development.

Talk by Dr. Fiona Haward (UoE, IQB3) sharing novel innovations of the iCLIP protocol to define protein-RNA interactions.

Talk by PG researcher Mohd Ahmad (UoE, IGC) describing the effects of codon usage and GC dinucleotide content on translation efficiency.

Casual research discussions over pizza and drinks

Thanks to new funding from the RNA Society, we are keeping our community alive and growing during 2025! We will have four events throughout the year to network with new and current members, hear about our local and exciting RNA research, and showcase ongoing projects!
