On behalf of the board of A-RNA, we would like to invite you to to join the Australasian RNA Biology and Biotechnology (A-RNA) Association.

A-RNA was created to bring together the RNA research community from across Australia and New Zealand. A-RNA has been established to explore the world of RNA science and to meet future biomedical challenges in partnership with industry, government, and academia. The association is especially suited to networking and engaging with the A-RNA community. The members are diverse and represent the spectrum of RNA research in Australasia, spanning cutting edge fundamental research through to translation and clinical and industrial applications. A significant proportion of association membership are trainees and post-docs. The annual A-RNA conference is the leading meeting in the field in Australia/NZ and is home to world-leading RNA research.

We welcome engagement with the association and its members. We seek to establish a respectful, diverse and creative environment for RNA and nucleic acid research in Australia and New Zealand. This will enable further engagement with the worldwide RNA community to drive discovery, translation, economic benefit and improvements in health.
