We are pleased to announce the establishment of the Kansai RNA Club as a platform for interaction among RNA researchers in the Kansai area. To mark this occasion, we are holding our first meeting on August 18th (Friday) at the Icho Hall on the Suita Campus of Osaka University. Our keynote speakers are Professor Masatoshi Hagiwara and Professor Hirohide Saito from Kyoto University. In addition, we have scheduled presentations from young and mid-career researchers in RNA-related laboratories in the Kansai area, covering a wide range of fields from basic research to drug discovery and disease research. The event is open to everyone, not just those in the Kansai area. We look forward to your participation.
Venue: Icho Hall, Osaka University, Hankyu Electric Railway & Sanwa Bank Hall
Date and Time: August 18, 2023 (Friday) 13:30-17:30 [Poster]

In the annual meeting of this year, as a Career Path Event, we will think about what the RNAJ Society Members are worried about and what they want, and what the Society should do to address these issues, as we enter a new post-corona stage. For this purpose, we will conduct a survey on the attitudes of the RNAJ Society members regarding career paths. We would appreciate your cooperation.
[The 24th Annual Meeting of the RNA Society of Japan Career Path Questionnaire] Purpose: Investigation of the awareness of the members of the RNAJ Society regarding career paths, for the enhancement of the future activities of the RNA Society of Japan. Conducted by: The 12th Annual Meeting of RNAJ Society Headquarters (Contact: Career Path Planning Secretary) Deadline: Sunday, June 25, 2023, 23:59pm Questionnaire Link
The 34th Tokyo RNA Club will be held on Saturday Tuesday, July 11, at Koshiba Hall, Hongo Campus, University of Tokyo, in conjunction with the visit to Japan by Dr. Severine Chambeyron of the French CNRS.
The main theme is the molecular mechanisms related to the maintenance of reproductive abilities of hosts and transposons, not just limited to piRNA. It may be somewhat atypical for the Tokyo RNA Club, but it is filled with cutting-edge research topics. If you are interested, or if you want to delve into new themes, we strongly encourage you to participate!
Pre-participation registration: Deadline June 12th (Mon), 2023
Presentation topic registration: Deadline June 5th (Mon), 2023
