Home of the Center for RNA Biology

Ohio State University has a large concentration of research labs with interests in RNA research. These laboratories constitute an interdisciplinary group focused on the biochemistry, molecular biology, structure and function of RNA.  Organizing RNA research in this manner facilitates sharing of reagents and technologies, collaborations and joint research grants, expanded course offerings, and expanded opportunities for trainees to develop their research careers.

• The OSU Center for RNA Biology now has its first member of the National Academy of Sciences – congratulations Tina Henkin!

• First annual Cellular & Molecular Biosciences Training Grant/Center for RNA Biology Symposium
  

  We have set the date for our first annual Cellular, Molecular and Biochemical Sciences Training Program/Center for RNA Biology Symposium, which will be held on Tuesday June 12, 2012. Please reserve this date on your calender for this full-day event (9 AM -5 PM). We are delighted that Lynne Maquat, Michael Terns and David Tirrell have accepted our invitations and will speak at the symposium. The symposium will be held in the Ohio Union and will also include talks and posters from OSU faculty and students, lunch, and a reception. We hope that all of you will plan on participating in this exciting event by attending and presenting posters of your research.

  Please note that this falls shortly after the RNA Society meeting that will be held in Ann Arbor, so many of the trainees will have posters already prepared for the Symposium.
