If you’re into RBPs, miRNAs, RNA regulation, or love cool new tech in biology…You don’t want to miss the talk of @dmitry-kretov.bsky.social (@ulaval.ca) the creator of RBPscan, a powerful method to quantitatively map RNA–protein interactions inside living cells; Wed 10th at 16:30 online.

📢 RNA fans! Join us tomorrow at 16:30h in @cambiochem.bsky.social for a new Cambridge RNA Club session. Come for the science, stay for the community! 🧬

How do high-affinity B cells shape immune responses, and how can we use their signatures in the clinic? Find out on 20 Nov, 16:30 at @cambiochem.bsky.social with Michele Chirichela, whose work spans antibody engineering, post-transcriptional regulation & biomarker discovery. Don’t miss it!

📅 Save the date! 26th June at 17:00 in
@cambiochem.bsky.social . Tsveta Kamenova will share her latest work on how the lncRNA LINC00673 shapes transcription and cell fate in lung cancer.
🍕 Pizza & summer drinks in the garden after the talk!
Come for the science, stay for the summer vibes ☀️🧃

Can a lncRNA tip the balance between development and cancer?
Join us on 26th June! Tsveta Kamenova will uncover how LINC00673 rewires transcription and drives lung tumorigenesis by regulating SOX9 and developmental pathways. #RNAClub #lncRNA #CancerBiology

Looking forward to presenting at the Cambridge RNA club again! If you are interested in gene regulation and around Cambridge, stop by!

From decoding histone readers to mapping transcription under DNA stress, @anatv.bsky.social has explored the epigenome from every angle. Now at @cellbiol-mrclmb.bsky.social ,she’s uncovering how cells anticipate trouble on genes, and prepare RNA Pol II for the challenge. Don't miss her on June 26th

Ever wondered how RNA polymerase II gears up to tackle obstacles on DNA?
Turns out, cells have a preparation pathway, and it’s way cooler than we imagined!
Join us and @anatv.bsky.social on June 26th to discover how Pol II gets battle-ready! 💥🧪 #RNAClub
