In partnership with the Canadian Society of Biochemistry, Molecular and Cellular Biology (CSBMCB), the RiboClub Annual Meeting 2011 will be held on September 19-21, 2011 at the Hôtel Chéribourg, Orford, Québec, Canada.
The RiboClub Annual Meeting is a yearly meeting of RNA scientists from Canada, USA and around the world. The meeting covers different topics related to the chemistry, structure and biology of RNA. The meeting format is designed to encourage collaborations between the different labs and to stimulate the interest of young scientists in this research area. The flavour of the year is: Studying RNA one molecule at a time. During the meeting, multiple and different awards will be given to students, postdoctoral fellows and professors; it includes:
-
Best Seminar Award 2011
-
Blue Jacket Award
