Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on RNA Editing is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

The focus of this meeting is the biology of RNA and DNA editing and modification with a keynote talk from Dr. Eric Phizicky (University of Rochester Medical Center). The GRS will have two science sessions titled "Function and Mechanism of Nucleic Acids Modifications" and "From Mechanism to Cutting Edge Nucleic Acids Technologies". There will be talks selected from abstracts and two poster sessions. Sessions will be chaired by selected students/postdocs. These sessions aim to connect fundamental mechanisms with the emerging therapeutic applications of the editing technologies. In addition, the GRS will conclude with a panel discussion titled "Diverse Career Pathways for PhDs" aimed at providing a platform for students and post-docs to discuss career development with professionals working in diverse careers.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "RNA Editing" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
