Toronto RNA Enthusiasts' Day (TREnD) 2021


There is an abundance of outstanding RNA research across a broad variety of disciplines in the Greater Toronto Area and neighbouring provinces. RNA Biology is an important and exciting field of study, and by connecting researchers in this realm, we can share ideas and state-of the-art technologies, build cross-disciplinary collaborations, and welcome a greater number of scientists in our scientific network and community. Our symposium, Toronto RNA Enthusiasts' Day (TREnD) 2021, is a student-led and trainee-focused event that will bring together researchers of every level (from undergraduate to PI) to share their exciting research and inform us of new scientific approaches.

With the pandemic, we have shifted to an online format. This enables us to reach an even broader swath of RNA Biologists from around the globe. Our goal is to provide an inspiring and lively two days of RNA-centric discussion across multiple model genetic systems and to be an valuable networking and scientific tool for our community. In particular, we endeavour to provide a platform for students and postdocs to hone their presentation skills, share their outstanding research, and receive important feedback. This year, we have partnered with Fourwaves to fuel networking and interaction during poster sessions, and to shine a light on our multi-talented science community via our RNArt Contest We also welcome two exceptional Keynote speakers this year: Dr. Rachel Green from Johns Hopkins University and Ms. Shiz Aoki from BioRender. Come join us and be RNA-inspired!
