Welcome
The German Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (GBM e.V.) presents GBM Compact: Focus on RNA Structure and Dynamics, an engaging and accessible one-day meeting that brings together leading experts and enthusiastic researchers to explore the fascinating and rapidly evolving field of RNA biology.
RNA molecules shape the complexity of life. They store and transmit genetic information, fold into intricate structures to catalyze reactions and act as powerful regulators of gene expression. Understanding structure-function relationships in RNA and RNA-protein complexes is essential to understanding fundamental biological processes and unlocking new opportunities in biotechnology and medicine to the benefit of human health.
The fourth GBM Compact meeting in Frankfurt a.M. will bring together researchers exploring RNA biology from molecular mechanisms to cellular regulation and therapeutic innovation. Topics will include RNA folding and structural dynamics, RNA structures, structure probing, prediction and modelling, ribonucleoprotein complexes, RNA modifications, and emerging RNA-based technologies in health and disease.
We are looking forward to an exciting meeting and cordially invite you to participate!
