On behalf of the conference organising committee, we would like to invite you to to join us at the third annual conference of the Australasian RNA Biology and Biotechnology (A-RNA) Association.

This Conference brings together the RNA research community from across Australia and New Zealand for our annual meeting. There will be presentations from international invited speakers and leaders in the field from Australia and New Zealand describing the latest in RNA science and application.

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. This forum is especially suited to networking with the A-RNA community. The members and attendees will be 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 attendees will be trainees and post-docs. The A-RNA conference is the leading meeting in the field in Australia/NZ and is home to world-leading RNA research.

The Conference will commence on Monday, 21st October 2024, with a keynote session followed by two full days of RNA science. The conference will be held at Melbourne Connect, in the heart of the dynamic Parkville community.
