Call for Abstracts

We are pleased to invite abstract submissions for the 2027 International Symposium on RNA Science & Therapeutic Innovation.

We welcome abstracts describing original and innovative research spanning basic, translational, and therapeutic RNA science. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:

  • RNA biology, processing, structure, and function
  • RNA modifications and epitranscriptomics
  • RNA-binding proteins and RNA regulatory networks
  • Noncoding RNAs and regulatory RNAs
  • RNA metabolism in development and disease
  • RNA technologies, sequencing, imaging, and computational approaches
  • RNA-based therapeutics, including mRNA, siRNA, antisense oligonucleotides, and other emerging modalities
  • RNA delivery technologies and nanomedicine
  • RNA engineering and synthetic biology
  • RNA biomarkers and diagnostics
  • RNA biology and therapeutics in cancer and other human diseases

Presentation Opportunities

Selected abstracts will be considered for:

  • Short Oral Presentations
  • Poster Presentations

We particularly encourage submissions from postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, trainees, and early-career investigators. A limited number of outstanding abstracts will be selected for short oral presentations during the symposium.
