RNA and AI Symposium (October 29, 2024)

Join us for a one-day event featuring presentations from experts from both academia and industry. Delve into the cutting-edge intersection of AI/machine learning and RNA biology and therapeutics and discover how AI/ML serves as an accelerant in advancing RNA research and therapeutic innovations. 

RNA at the Bench and Bedside IV (December 9, 2024 - December 11, 2024)

Center for RNA Technologies and Therapeutics is co-organizing this years RNA at the Bench and Beside IV conference at The Salk Institute in San Diego, CA.

Center monthly seminar series (coming 2024)

The Center’s monthly seminar series will feature relevant talks from UCSD scientists, particularly senior graduate students, postdocs, and early investigators as well as outside leaders in the field.

Center Career and Grant Writing Workshops (coming 2024)

The purpose of the career workshop is to provide guidance for graduate students and postdocs in making career decisions. These decisions primarily revolve around choosing between academia/non-profit or industry. In the industry sector, there are options between working at a start-up/biotech and Parma. The workshop will also explore what career opportunities exist in academia outside of the faculty track, and in the non-profit sector, e.g. patient advocacy and research grant funding foundations.

The primary goal of the grant writing workshop is to enable senior postdocs and young investigators to identify funding opportunities (particularly in the RNA research arena) and to acquire federal and non-federal funding. A second goal is to enable participants to become competent and fair grant reviewers.
