The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network RNAct is pleased to announce the international conference Tailoring RNA binding proteins and RNA targeting to be held in Valencia on 14th and 15th September 2022.
The conference covers and invites contributions on computational, machine learning, biochemical and structural biology approaches for the engineering of proteins with programmable RNA binding specificity to control gene expression and enable biotechnological applications. A special innovation workshop will highlight current developments for modulating and targeting RNA-binding proteins and RNAs for therapeutic approaches. Discussion will be sparked off around these topics through keynotes by renowned experts, as well as through oral presentations, flash oral presentations and poster sessions of selected submitted abstracts.
Submission Guidelines
Participants who want to present their work should contribute an abstract, and indicate whether they would like to do so as an (i) oral presentation or (ii) poster presentation. Please note that only a limited number of oral presentations can be accommodated in the Conference agenda. Relevant contributions that cannot be showcased in full-length presentations will be offered a flash oral + poster presentation.
When preparing and submitting your abstracts, please make sure to specify the preferred type of contributions and the topic you would like to contribute to. The options are as follows.
Type of contributions
- Oral presentation*: 15 min presentation + 5 min questions
- Poster
* Relevant contributions for which no full-length presentation space is available will be offered a flash oral presentation (5 min) + poster. Selected full-length talks can also contribute to the poster session should they wish to do so.
Topics
Topic 1 - RBP-RNA binding
Topic 2 - RBPs and protein design
Topic 3 - RNA targeting and gene expression regulation
Topic 4 - Industrial applications of RNA binding/targeting
Note: Only one-page abstracts submitted in Word formats (.doc and .docx) will be considered. Make sure to follow the instructions in the template*. Different deadlines apply for submissions targeting poster or oral presentations; detailed information is available on the conference webpage.
