Registration is now open and will close March 21st. Oxford Abstracts registration form
To register please submit an abstract and motivation statement and let us know if you are requesting reimbursement.
We will have several oral presentations chosen from abstracts, please tick the box on the Oxford abstract if you would like to be considered and which session you believe you would fit in.
Session 1: ExRNA release and function: new discoveries and open questions
This session will focus on the diversity of exRNA sequences and carriers that exist as well as conditions that impact exRNA functions in different environments including in the context of viral infections. The session will also draw on new knowledge and approaches in RNA structure/modifications.
Session 2: Integrating exRNA biology and microbiology
This session will focus on the forms and functions of exRNA across diverse species and in host-pathogen interactions and symbioses.
Session 3: Obstacles to overcome in exRNA in therapeutics & exRNA Delivery
This session will focus on the current knowledge, approaches and obstacles to exRNA delivery in both mammalian (therapeutic) contexts as well as plants (agriculture).
Session 4: Accelerating impact and integration of exRNA knowledge and innovations
This session will focus on how to coordinate and advance the visibility of exRNA research and innovations after the COST action, with the aim of identifying mechanisms to integrate exRNA in European scientific networks and a goal of learning from outcomes of similar initiatives in the USA (exRNA consortium).
This meeting will start at 12 pm on the 11th June and finish at 12 pm on the 13th June.
