The RNA Network of Australasia was founded in 2007 by Professor Thomas Preiss, who recognised the need to provide a forum for scientists doing RNA-related research within Australia and New Zealand. The aim was to boost the profile of RNA research, support students and early career scientists with local meetings and activities, and form a network of scientists with this common interest.
Each year we support an award for an RNA-based presentation at the annual conference of the Australian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, as well as a number of state-based events.
Drop me an email any time – I welcome any thoughts or suggestions you might have for strategies to boost RNA research!
