The Versatility of RNA in the Living World

The 2024 Gordon Research Conference on Post-Transcriptional Gene Regulation will be the 10th in a biennial series that began in 2004. This meeting will discuss the most up-to-date research on the basic mechanisms that underlie the processing, regulation, and functions of RNA. Topics of interest include but are not limited to RNA synthesis, folding, modification, splicing, 3´ end formation, mRNA translation, decay, localization, non-coding RNAs, and how these processes are coupled in cells. The versatility of RNA functions and mechanisms from a broad range of organisms will be emphasized. An important goal of the meeting is to foster interactions between academic and industrial scientists that lead to the identification and development of novel drug targets and therapeutic potential of RNAs. Moreover, the meeting seeks to support interactions among scientists at all stages of their careers, and the limitation of the attendance to ~180 participants will promote such conversations. The meeting will include approximately 40 invited speakers from academia and industry representing a variety of post-transcriptional control topics in nine sessions. In addition, a limited number of short talks will be selected from submitted abstracts. Four late afternoon poster sessions will ensure that the science of every participant will be discussed in depth. Sessions will generally have 4-6 speakers each.
