The ASOBIOTICS 2025 Workshop is being held on September 1, 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM. NOTE: the location of the workshop is at the Institute of Molecular Biology of Plants, CNRS, Strasbourg (Léon Hirth conference room). This informal workshop is open to everyone interested in the basic principles and diverse applications of RNA-targeting short antisense oligomers (ASOs) to modulate gene expression in bacteria. Hosted by the NetRNA consortium at the Institute of Molecular Biology of Plants, CNRS, Strasbourg (Léon Hirth conference room), the workshop is free (registration is required). For additional information, please visit www.helmholtz-hiri.de/en/asobiotics2025/ and to register (required, though the workshop is free), please click HERE. Email asobiotics2025@nullhelmholtz-hiri.de with questions.
Regulatory RNAs allow bacteria and archaea to adapt to their environments, colonize hosts, and defend against invaders. They operate seamlessly with the machinery for RNA transcription, translation, and turnover, and inspire engineering of synthetic switches. We look forward to welcoming you in person to the 8th meeting in this conference series!
This meeting aims at bringing together researchers at all career stages with the goals of sharing new insights, establishing collaborations and cross-fertilization of ideas. In addition to invited talks, most oral presentations will be selected from submitted abstracts to ensure that the meeting encompasses the latest advances.
