Register nowEMBO Workshop on “RNP network dynamics in development and disease”
(http://meetings.embo.org/event/19-RNP-networks) will take place between 29th September and 2nd of October 2019 in the historic city of Ljubljana, Slovenia. We anticipate this is the first conference to focus on RNA regulatory mechanisms from the perspective of RNP networks and their dynamics.
In recent years, it has become apparent that changes in the dynamics of RNP assembly and disassembly are major driving forces of development or disease mechanisms. While many scientific meetings focus on studies of RNA regulatory mechanisms, none approaches it from the perspective of RNP networks and their dynamics.
This meeting will bring together scientists who study the roles of RNPs in development or disease with diverse methods, such as RNP interactomics, CLIP, computational modeling, biophysics, and imaging. It will offer an opportunity to exchange knowledge and discuss future opportunities to further integrate the following complementary approaches:
- transcriptomics and proteomics of protein-RNA networks
- dynamics of RNPs through phase separation
- biological roles of RNPs in development, cancer or neurodegeneration
Moreover, the meeting will stimulate cross-fertilisation of methods and concepts that are relevant for diverse biological questions in development, cancer and neurologic diseases.
The meeting has a strong presence of young scientists and in addition to 30 invited speakers, every accepted abstract will be selected for either 15min or 1min talk on top of 2 poster sessions.
Additionally, on a preceding day to the meeting (28th of September, afternoon) there will be optional computational workshops including sessions on analysis of CLIP sequencing data with Python, R, and the basics of machine learning, and optional introductory lectures to be held on the first day (29th of September; 9:00-13:00) on the main methods covered by the conference (CLIP, RBPome, phase separation related methods, computational tools for analysis and visualisation of RNP networks). All participants will be asked during the online registration process to suggest and possibly hold the pre-meeting workshops and introductory lectures.
More information about the event including a preliminary schedule and the list of the speakers may be found on the website (http://meetings.embo.org/event/19-RNP-networks). We are happy to be at your disposal for any questions that may arise.

mRNA Turnover: Mechanisms, Regulation and their Implication in Infectious and Age-Related Diseases
Description:
Co-Chairs: Jeff Wilusz of Colorado State University and Imed Gallouzi of McGill University, along with the Organizing Committee, would like to invite you to partake in this gathering for RNA Stability researchers. The previous meeting in this series took place in Oxford, UK in 2017.
Montréal is the proud host city for the 8th meeting of this international series. This year, the conference coincides with the 40th birthday celebrations of the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal, a world renowned event that is sure to Jazz up your Science!
Montréal, host to the 4th meeting of the RNA Stability series in 2010, is a big, busy, exhilarating city with so much to see and do. Its neighbourhoods range from the French colonial Vieux-Montréal to the bohemian Plateau. Hop from one festival to the next, from homegrown tastes to exotic flavours, from the trails of Mount Royal to the cobblestone streets of Old Montréal. The city explodes into action in summer, stirring up a non-stop international-level joyride of live music, comedy, art, cultural activities and fabulous food.
The organizing committee for the 2019 meeting consists of Imed Gallouzi, Jeff Wilusz, Kristian Baker, Marc Fabian, Jack Keene, Myriam Gorospe, David Port, Nahum Sonenberg, Olivier Muehlmann and Georg Stoecklin.
Our Opening Reception overlooking the Montréal skyline will follow with our Opening Keynote Address by Jack Keene.
In addition to our 33 Invited Guest Speakers, the Scientific Program will include 15 short oral presentations along with 10 flash presentations, which will be selected from submitted abstracts. Two poster pub presentations along with morning workouts and our not-to-be-missed Caf Conc’ Gala (just ask anyone who attended the 2010 meeting….) will create plenty of opportunities for networking and promote the latest discussions in RNA Stability.
Topics will include: Mechanisms of RNA Turnover and Stability, RNA Translation, RNA Localization/Subcellular Localization of RNA Decay, Splicing, Biological Ramifications of Regulated RNA Turnover (including in Aging and Stress Responses), and Biological Implications of 3’ UTRs and miRNA Interactions.
Important Deadlines:
January to February, 2019 – Early Bird Registration and Abstract Submission
March to June 15, 2019 – Regular Registration and Abstract Submission
April 25, 2019 – Abstract Deadline
June 15, 2019- Registration Deadline
Funds received from the RNA Society will go towards student presentation awards.
