Research during recent decades has identified RNA molecules as key players in biology and medicine. Novel types of large and small RNAs, and novel roles for RNA molecules, not only as informational molecules, but also as enzymes and as regulators of gene expression, have emerged. RNA processing and alternative splicing, major contributors to proteome versatility, play crucial roles in cell identity and development.  RNA molecules serve as catalysts and as regulators of chromatin structure, gene expression at different levels, and protein function in diverse pathways. The involvement of RNA molecules in disease-related processes has led to RNA-mediated therapies. For example, manipulation of alternative splicing and gene expression by antisense RNAs enabled breakthroughs in the therapies of rare disease, and mRNA-based vaccines have played a crucial role in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. Many challenges lie ahead in deciphering the structure and function of RNA molecules and in the development of additional RNA-based therapies. The RNA School will bring together many of the scientists responsible for the important discoveries, and will support stimulating and fruitful discussions of the major topics.    

As part of the school, we will hold the Israeli RNA Society meeting in memory of Prof. Yossi Sperling on 26 October.
