The STRAS-RNA Salon is a programme funded by the International RNA Society with additional support of Lexogen to promote interactions among scientists around RNA biology, and to advance training for junior researchers. STRAS-RNA salon, coordinated by Laurence Drouard (IBMP) and Pascale Romby (IBMC), brings together a strong community of scientists working on RNA biology in Strasbourg (France), including 4 different research units (RNA, M3I, IBMP and GMGM) located on the University’s central campus. We are pleased to announce that the International RNA Society has renewed its funding for the STRAS-RNA Salon for 2 years.
