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.
