Center for RNA Biology and Medicine

The Center for RNA Biology and Medicine at the University of California, Riverside is a multi-disciplinary research center that builds upon UCR’s deep and unique strengths in RNA research and facilitates interdisciplinary interactions to promote fundamental science discoveries and to address RNA-centric industrial, biomedical, and therapeutic needs.


Join us for the 2nd annual symposium on November 3, 2023

We will host the 2nd annual symposium Center for RNA Biology and Medicine at the Genomics Auditorium here at the University of California, Riverside. Registration is free (but required for breakfast and lunch attendee estimates). Join us for poster presentations and watch presenters deliver excellence science at the UC Riverside Genomics Auditorium. There will be poster and best question awards for students and postdocs. Come out, show your support, and collaborate with the Center for RNA Biology and Medicine! 
 
 

Our symposium will feature keynote speaker, Dr. Don W. Cleveland, 2018 Breakthrough Prize in Life Science and a lineup of esteemed investigators, Dr. Gloria Brar, University of California-Berkeley, Dr. Jens Lykke-Andersen, University of California- San Diego, Dr. Joseph Puglisi, Stanford, Dr. Yongsheng Shi, University of California - Irvine, Dr. Lili Wang, City of Hope, Dr. Yinsheng Wang, University of California - Riverside, and Dr. James Ellis - SickKids Research Institute.
