The RNA Associated Mechanisms Conference: In Immunity and Disease
Summary
August 28-September 1, 2022
This new FASEB Science Research Conference (SRC) intersects the world of human pathophysiology with our current understanding of RNA biology. It focuses on the role of various RNA synthesis and diversification mechanisms in supporting our immune system and preventing onset of diseases. Sections of the meeting also explore developing RNA-based therapeutics and associated mechanism of action.
The program presents and integrates research advances in the areas of human immunology, cancer biology, and developmental biology related to RNA associated mechanisms. It brings together basic and clinical researchers of these very disparate fields and encourages new avenues of research through their collaboration. The meeting aims to accelerate the translation of fundamental advances into novel clinical treatments through their interactions.
The conference encourages and supports junior investigators/trainees, women, and minority scientists to continue their pursuit of research in the field of RNA biology.

Program
The conference's main themes are: 1) The role of RNA transcription, processing, and modification in immune cell development and function; 2) Understanding how RNA associated mechanisms in immune cells can be leveraged to prevent disease onset and promote therapeutic development.
Conference sessions will present the latest research and foster discussion on:
The conference covers eight sessions, two plenary talk sessions, and 16 abstract presentations. Trainees are encouraged to attend two "Meet the Experts” sessions for the opportunity to receive career guidance from experts in the field. Two Career Development Roundtables are also offered: one to meet and gain career advice from leaders and representatives of biotech firms, the other to meet with keynote speakers and other scientists for advice on academic careers.

Conference sessions will present the latest research and foster discussion on:
- The role of various noncoding RNAs in immune system development
- The mechanism of RNA processing of coding and noncoding RNAs in the development of the immune system and in context of disease onset/progression
- The role of RNA modifications in immune system development, function, and disease prevention
- The development of RNA therapeutics in stimulating the immune system and the prevention of diseases
