International Meeting (2022)

RNA: Beyond its Genetic Code

International meeting of the SPP1935 & the RTG2355

March 14-16, 2022

Due to pandemic restrictions, we had to convert our meeting to an online format. Our program included 20 talks from invited speakers and 15 flash talks from doctoral students and postdocs of the SPP1935 and the RTG2355.
