Conference: 2015 Rustbelt RNA Meeting to be held October 23-24, 2015 at the Sawmill Creek Resort and Conference Center in Huron/Sandusky, OH

该项目支持将于2015年10月23-24日在俄亥俄州休伦/桑达斯基举行的2015年RustBelt RNA会议。海报和口头演示的结合将促进新研究和技术的分享，这些研究和技术将有助于RNA的研究，RNA是遗传物质的主要形式之一，编码所有活着的有机体的信息。这次会议将汇集研究RNA结构和功能的生物和化学方面的研究人员，从而提供跨学科的经验。会议的一个亮点将是早期职业科学家与RNA领域目前的领导者建立网络联系的机会；这种互动通常作为未来合作的基础。Rustbelt RNA会议将以该领域一位领导者的主旨演讲、海报和口头演示为特色。演讲将涵盖包括长的非编码RNA、tRNA修饰和RNA结构功能研究在内的主题，并将讨论用于研究RNA的各种计算、生物物理和细胞方法。这次会议的重点是纳入学生和博士后学者，因为大约90%的研究报告将来自这些职业生涯早期的科学家群体。

This project supports the 2015 Rustbelt RNA Meeting , which will be held in Huron/Sandusky, OH on October 23-24, 2015. A combination of posters and oral presentations will promote sharing of new research and techniques that will aid the study of RNA, one of the main forms of genetic material that encodes information about all living organisms. The meeting will provide an interdisciplinary experience by bringing together researchers investigating biological and chemical aspects of RNA structure and function. A highlight of the meeting will be the opportunity for early-career scientists to network with current leaders in the RNA field; such interactions often serve as the foundation for future collaborations. The Rustbelt RNA Meeting will feature a keynote address by a leader in the field, posters, and oral presentations. Presentations will cover topics including long non-coding RNAs, tRNA modification, and RNA structure-function studies and will include discussion of various computational, biophysical, and cellular methods being used to study RNA. This conference is notable for its focus on inclusion of students and post-doctoral scholars, as approximately 90% of the research presented will come from these groups of early-career scientists.
