RNA Collaborative Series

The RNA Collaborative is an international, grassroots initiative connecting RNA research centers worldwide through a virtual seminar series. Established during the COVID-19 shutdowns, the program continues to promote emerging RNA discoveries and foster collaboration across the global RNA scientific community.
