These are exciting times for discovering the biological scope and the mechanisms of action of epitranscriptomics, the study of RNA modifications. Over 170 post-transcriptional modifications of RNA are known to date, and most RNA species harbor various chemical modifications. Epitranscriptomics plays pivotal roles in gene regulation and is essential for diverse biological processes Inappropriate regulation of RNA modifications has been implicated in common human diseases, such as cancer.

This International Meeting on “RNA modifications & Epitranscriptomics: New Mechanisms, New Therapies” will gather some of the most prominent academic speakers in the field, coming from the top universities around the world. They will highlight the most recent findings on the mechanisms and physiopathological roles of RNA modifications. Besides, speakers from companies dedicated to develop RNA modification targets will also discuss exciting and promising novel therapeutic drugs in the epitranscriptomic space.
