EdiRNA

Keynote speaker Prof. Vicky Cowling (CRUK, Beatson Institute) presenting the roles of RNA cap methyltransferases in neuronal development.

Talk by Dr. Fiona Haward (UoE, IQB3) sharing novel innovations of the iCLIP protocol to define protein-RNA interactions.

Talk by PG researcher Mohd Ahmad (UoE, IGC) describing the effects of codon usage and GC dinucleotide content on translation efficiency.

Casual research discussions over pizza and drinks

Yesterday's 3rd EdiRNA event was a great success again, thanks to all attending! ♥️
Our speakers were Prof. Vicky Cowling (CRUK), Dr. Fiona Haward (UoE), and PG researcher Mohd Ahmad (UoE).
As always, we are looking forward to future talks from our community. Will our next guest speaker be YOU? 👀
