National Academies advisory: May 17-18 meeting on RNA interferenceA recently discovered phenomenon known as RNA interference has radically expanded scientists' understanding of the roles RNA plays in regulating the expression of genes. It may eventually be a basis for developing novel therapeutic agents to treat diseases. As part of its Arthur M. Sackler colloquium series, the National Academy of Sciences will hold a meeting at which biochemists, geneticists, and other medical researchers will discuss emerging developments in the field.
DETAILS:
8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on May 17, and 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on May 18, in the auditorium of the National Academies building, 2100 C St., N.W., Washington, D.C.
