Fireside chat with Nobel Laureate Drew Weissman and Suzanne Cory on RNA biology and why fundamental research is more important than ever hosted by Professor Vihandha Wickramasinghe

Please join Nobel Laureate Professor Drew Weissman, Professor Suzanne Cory and Professor Vihandha Wickramasinghe for a fireside chat about fundamental discoveries in RNA biology from the 1970’s – present.

We will discuss how fundamental discoveries in RNA modifications, 5’ capping of mRNA and circular RNAs arose.   We will also discuss why investing in curiosity driven fundamental research is more important than ever in the current climate and is critical to drive the translational pipeline.

While this event is open to all researchers across the precinct, we especially encourage PhD students and early career researchers to attend and to participate in the discussion.
