If you are interested in receiving more information please register your interest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conference overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This workshop will showcase the latest breakthroughs in fundamental research, boundary-pushing methodologies, and emerging clinical applications, while critically addressing current debates in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The epitranscriptomics field is advancing at an exceptional pace, with rapid methodological, fundamental mechanistic, and translational developments. Breakthroughs in RNA modification mapping technologies, single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, direct RNA sequencing, and computational modeling are continuously reshaping our understanding of RNA regulation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, new conceptual frameworks are emerging that link RNA modifications to chromatin state, RNA processing, translation control, cellular stress responses, development, aging, and disease. The translational dimension is also expanding quickly, with growing interest in RNA-modifying enzymes as therapeutic targets and in RNA engineering approaches for precision medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Since its first edition in 2016, an extensive body of research has demonstrated that RNA modifications regulate RNA metabolism, shape cellular<br>function, and contribute to severe human diseases. In parallel RNA modifications have become integral to modern RNA-based therapeutics, where they are routinely used to modulate electrostatic properties, base pairing, stability, and protein expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The meeting will bring together leading experts from around the world, providing European researchers with cost-effective access to state-of-the-art science at the forefront of epitranscriptomics research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key themes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>RNA modifications as fundamental components of gene expression control<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dynamic RNA modifications in development and response to environmental cues<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Novel methods for mapping and quantifying RNA modifications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Native and synthetic RNA modifications exploited for therapeutic use<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The prognostic and diagnostic value of RNA modifications in disease.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What past participants say about the conference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cThe epitranscriptome EMBL conference rapidly became a must in the field.\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;\u2014 Mattia Pelizzola,&nbsp;Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Italy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cThe conference provided an excellent opportunity to get the latest insights in the field of epitranscriptomics, presented by the world-leading academic groups.\u201d \u2014<\/em> Gerhard M\u00fcller, Gotham Therapeutics, New York, USA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cThis conference was really good for me.

If an error occurs try using a different web browser (preferably Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you copy-paste the text into the form, hidden formatting might still be included which may cause the text to exceed the 2,000 character limit resulting in an error message. We recommend you clear all formatting before pasting in the text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have special symbols in your text, make sure you are using Unicode characters, otherwise these will not be recognised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Title: <\/strong>The title should not exceed 20 words. Only the first word of the title should start with a capital letter and the rest should be lowercase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Authors and affiliations: <\/strong>Please fill in the author&#8217;s details as requested in the online form.

Do not copy-paste them into the body of the abstract text, as they will not be indexed in the abstract book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Presentation types:<\/strong> When submitting your abstract, you can apply for an oral or poster presentation.
